Abstract
The capturing of rich database metadata includes: capturing partitioned column metadata of a database as mappings defined by a plurality of constraint statements; defining non-standard user-defined types of the database according to a schema; defining physical representations of columns of the database according to the schema; and storing the defined mappings, the defined user-defined types, and the defined physical representations of columns to a catalog of the database. Application enumerated data values in the database may also be defined according to the XML schema and stored to the catalog of the database. In this manner, the database management system may manage application constraints, user-defined types, and physical representations of data for applications referencing the same database using the metadata information stored in the catalog of the database.
