System catalog tables
The
system catalog
consists of tables and views that describe the structure of the database. Sometimes called the
data dictionary
, these table objects contain everything that the database knows about itself. Each system catalog table contains information about specific elements in the database. Each database has its own system catalog.
Data types
Every column in a table in a database is assigned a data type. The data type precisely defines the kinds of values that you can store in that column.
Environment variables
Various
environment variables
affect the functionality of your
HCL OneDB™
products. You can set environment variables that identify your terminal, specify the location of your software and define other parameters.
