System, method, and computer program for creating metadata-based search queries

Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for creating metadata-based search queries. In use, a plurality of data objects in one or more databases are identified. Additionally, a plurality of attributes associated with each of the plurality of data objects are identified (e.g. attributes from a table, derived attributes, etc.). Further, a plurality of relationships associated with each of the plurality of data objects are identified. In addition, at least one of the plurality of data objects, the plurality of attributes, or the plurality of relationships are filtered to generate a first subset of data objects, a first subset of attributes, and a first subset of relationships. At least a metadata representation of at least a portion of the first subset of data objects, the first subset of attributes, or the first subset of relationships is displayed utilizing a user interface. Furthermore, a selection is received from the user interface, the selection including data associated with one or more of the first subset of data objects, one or more of the first subset of attributes, or one or more of the first subset of relationships. Moreover, a search query is automatically generated based on the selection. Additionally, the one or more databases are searched utilizing the search query. Still yet, results of the search query are displayed utilizing the user interface.
