Abstract
A data dictionary generation system utilizes a background service that is programmed to automatically populate and update a data dictionary for listings offering shared data. A data dictionary includes metadata describing the shared data overall as well as the individual objects included in the listing, such as the individual tables, schemas, views, and functions. To generate the data dictionary, the data dictionary generation system analyzes the shared data to identify objects, identifies a set of data fields associated with each identified object and populates the set of data fields associated with each identified object based on the shared data offered by the listing. To ensure that a data dictionary for each listing remains up to date, the data dictionary generation system periodically scans the listings to identify any changes to share access granted to the listings.
