First it takes advantage of the sequential structure of decision tree branches so that the order of checking conditions and executing actions is immediately noticeable. Second, Conditions and actions of decision trees are found on some branches but not on others which contrasts with decision tables, in which they are all part of the same table. Those conditions and actions that are critical are connected directly to other conditions and actions, whereas those conditions that do not matter are absent. In other words it does not have to be symmetrical. Third,Compared with decision tables, decision trees are more readily understood by others in the organization. Consequently, they are more appropriate as a communication tool. Unbalanced Decision Tables are a compromise between Decision Tables and Decision Trees. Decision Trees themselves can become quite complex with enough conditions and actions. Unbalanced Decision Tables provide either a prioritized list of conditions that lead to a set of actions, or a list of conditions that lead to a set of actions. The result is often more concise than either traditional Decision Tables or Decision Trees.

I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER .IF I KNOW I COULD NOT HAVE VISITED THIS SITE
could u send me the answers for the merits of the decision tables
Advantages and Disadvantages of Decision Tables:A decision table has a number of advantages which are stated below:(i) A decision table provides a framework for a complete and accurate statement of processing or decision logic. It forces a discipline on the programmer to think through all possible conditions.(ii) A decision table may be easier to construct than a flowchart.(iii) A decision table is compact and easily understood making it very effective for communication between analysts or programmers and non-technical users. Better documentation is provided by it.(iv) Direct conversion of decision table into computer program is possible using available software packages.(v) It is possible to check that all test combinations have been considered.(vi) Alternatives are shown side by side to facilitate analysis of combinations.(vii) The tables show cause and effect relationships.(viii) They use standardized format.(ix) Typists can copy tables with virtually no question or problems.(x) Complex tables can easily be split into simpler tables.(xi) Table users are not required to possess computer knowledge.Disadvantages of using decision tables are as follows:(i)Total sequence - The total sequence is not clearly shown, i.e., no overall picture is given by decision tables as presented by flowcharts.(ii) Logic - Where the logic of a system is simple, flowcharts nearly always serve the purpose better than a decision table.
The law of the twelve tables was compiled by a special ten-man committee called the decemviri. The decision to have a set of published laws was taken though an agreement between the patrician senators and the leaders of the plebeian movement.
