CRUD
CRUD stands for the basic data operations Create, Read, Update and Delete.
Also known asCreate Read Update Delete
Basic operations on stored data
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update and Delete. These are basic operations on persistently stored data. In a fictional example, customer management can create a record, display it, change its contact details and remove it.
The terms alone do not say who may perform these actions or when a change is valid for the business. “Delete” must also have a defined meaning: an interface may merely hide an entry or mark it as deleted. CRUD alone therefore does not model a complete business workflow with approvals and exceptions. Clarify permissions, checks and the actual intended data effect for each operation.
