0224 Databases¶

A database is a structured store of data. It is typically managed as a shared data source that is used by multiple applications and/or processes.

Database entity¶

The Database entity represents the database store. It inherits from DataStore to indicate that the physical data is stored under this asset.

RelationalDatabase entity¶

The RelationalDatabase entity defines a database that supports the relational schema that can be accessed via the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) interface.

DeployedDatabaseSchema entity¶

Often the data within the database is organized into distinct collections of data for use by the different applications or processes. The structure of the data in each collection is called a database schema. Such database schemas are used to limit the scope of data that a consuming application/process is exposed to. Where this is the case, each database schema is represented by the DeployedDatabaseSchema entity. DeployedDatabaseSchema inherits from DataSet to indicate that it is a logical collection of data. The physical data is stored in the database.

DeployedDatabaseSchema is linked to its Database using the DataContentForDataSet relationship.

TableDatabase entity¶

The TableDataSet can be used to identify an important table in a database that can be considered an asset in its own right.
