Abstract
A method of searching all tables in a data model is disclosed, using a non-materializing virtual table interface that acts as a view into the underlying data model. The virtual table is virtually built on the fly at query execution time, and maps to all columns and rows within the data model. A query on the virtual table is translated into a set of data model queries for searching the data model, based on columns selected from the virtual table and other specified search parameters, as well as the virtual table definition. The search process works in conjunction with data domains, and uses compaction and tokenization of data.
