<p>The database manager maintains a set of tables containing information about
|
||
|
|
objects in the database. These tables and views are collectively known as the <span class="italic">catalog</span>. The <span class="italic">catalog tables</span> contain
|
||
|
|
information about objects such as tables, views, indexes, packages, and constraints.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Tables and views in the catalog are similar to any other database tables
|
||
|
|
and views. Any user that has the SELECT privilege on a catalog table or view
|
||
|
|
can read the data in the catalog table or view. A user cannot directly modify
|
||
|
|
a catalog table or view, however. The database manager ensures that the catalog
|
||
|
|
contains accurate descriptions of the objects in the database at all times.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The database manager provides a set of views that provide more consistency
|
||
|
|
with the catalog views of other IBM® SQL products and another set of catalog
|
||
|
|
views that provide compatibility with the catalog views of the ANSI and ISO
|
||
|
|
standard (called <span class="italic">Information Schema</span> in the standard).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If a schema is created using the CREATE SCHEMA statement, the schema will
|
||
|
|
also contain a set of views that only contain information about objects in
|
||
|
|
the schema.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For more information about catalog tables and views, see <a href="rbafzmstcatalog.htm#catalog">Appendix F. DB2 UDB for iSeries catalog views</a>.</p>
