Abstract
A requested table of configuration information is accessed through a catalog server object that manages the configuration information in one or more datastores. A client table object is created on a client computer, and a catalog server object is queried from the client table object for table information associated with the requested table. The client table object receives the table information from the catalog server object and records the table information on the client computer. A connection is established between the client table object and the catalog server object, and the catalog server object is requested to populate a read cache of the client table object. A table system is created through the catalog server object to access the requested configuration information, and a read cache in the table system is populated with the requested table of the configuration information.
