# Feature: #97173 - Auto creation of database fields for TCA "slug" {#feature-97173-1663950087}

See [forge#97173](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/97173)

## Description {#description}

TYPO3 automatically creates database fields for TCA type `slug` columns,
if they have not already been defined in an extension's `ext_tables.sql`
file.

## Impact {#impact}

The corresponding database field definition of a slug field can be omitted from
`ext_tables.sql`.
