7 System and Replication Tables 

TimesTen stores metadata (information about the contents of your data store) in system tables in your data store.

Your applications can read the system tables, but it cannot update the system tables. If your application defines a table with the same name as a system table, then your application can read a system table by prefixing the system table name with SYS.
