Abstract
Techniques and solutions are described for storing and retrieving metadata for database artefacts. A client request is received that includes a relevancy identifier. The relevancy identifier is useable to determine a subset of metadata that should be provided in response to the request. Metadata, including in metadata objects or database artefacts, can be reviewed to determine whether it is relevant to the request, such as if the metadata is associated with the relevancy identifier. Different requests from the same client can specify different relevancy identifiers, as, for example, a first set of metadata may be relevant to one client process and another set may be relevant to another client process. While some metadata can be specific to a particular client, at least some of the metadata can be accessed by multiple clients, and at least in some cases different clients can specify the same relevancy identifier.
