What is refactory table?

Refactory table is a database table that is designed to store information about the structure or properties of other tables in the database. It contains metadata that defines the data types, field names, and relationships between tables. Refactoring is the process of making changes to the database schema or structure without affecting the data stored in it. Refactory tables make this process easier by providing a central location where developers can store and manage information about the database structure. They are commonly used in software development to facilitate data migrations, updates, and version control. Refactory tables may also provide an API for accessing and manipulating the database schema programmatically, allowing developers to automate tasks such as database replication, testing, and debugging.
