    I am creating application which will help in archiving the data  from production environment by converting table data into csv file...but the requirement is not limited to only one application...I need to make it generic for client so if they need to decommission any application in future they can use this archiving application....so the requirement is Interface will show all tables names from mariaDB and user can select multiple tables from this...if only one table is selected it will generate one csv file for that table data and if multiple tables are selected it will generate zipped folder of all csv files

    IMHO such kind of use cases are not great for Appian. And your idea becomes more difficult with the switch to synced records which deprecates Data Stores. And then you would want to create a separate database schema for each application with separate permissions etc.

    Why not create a management application which expects that certain functionality is implemented in each application individually?
