Explanation

Custom tables in ServiceNow carry a prefix that distinguishes them from out-of-box tables: u_ denotes a table created directly in the global scope by an administrator, while x_ denotes a table created inside a scoped application. Core and Base tables are ServiceNow-provided tables and use no such prefix. Parent tables are a structural concept unrelated to naming conventions.
