System Catalog¶
You can easily get various schema information from the SQL statement by using the system catalog virtual class. For example, you can get the following schema information by using the catalog virtual class.
-- Classes that refer to the 'b_user' class
SELECT class_name
FROM db_attribute
WHERE domain_class_name = 'db_user';
-- The number of classes that the current user can access
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM db_class;
-- Attribute of the 'db_user' class
SELECT attr_name, data_type
FROM db_attribute
WHERE class_name = 'db_user';
System Catalog Classes¶
To define a catalog virtual class, define a catalog class first. The figure below shows catalog classes to be added and their relationships. The arrows represent the reference relationship between classes, and the classes that start with an underline (_) are catalog classes.
Added catalog classes represent information about all classes, attributes and methods in the database. Catalog classes are made up of class composition hierarchy and designed to have OIDs of catalog class instances for cross reference.

SELECT class_name, SEQUENCE(SELECT class_name FROM _db_class s WHERE s IN c.sub_classes)
FROM _db_class c
WHERE c.owner.name = 'PUBLIC' AND c.sub_classes IS NOT NULL;
class_name sequence((select class_name from _db_class s where s in c.sub_classes))

Catalog Class/Virtual Class Authorization¶
Catalog classes are created to be owned by dba. However, dba can only execute SELECT operations. If dba executes operations such as UPDATE / DELETE, an authorization failure error occurs. General users cannot execute queries on system catalog classes.
Although catalog virtual classes are created to be owned by dba, all users can perform the SELECT statement on catalog virtual classes. Of course, UPDATE / DELETE operations on catalog virtual classes are not allowed.
Updating catalog classes/virtual classes is automatically performed by the system when users execute a DDL statement that creates/modifies/deletes a class/attribute/index/user/authorization.
Querying on Catalog¶
To query on catalog classes, you must convert identifiers such as class, virtual class, attribute, trigger, method and index names to lowercases, and create them. Therefore, you must use lowercases when querying on catalog classes. But, DB user name is changed as uppercases and stored into db_user system catalog table.
CREATE TABLE Foo(name varchar(255));
SELECT class_name, partitioned FROM db_class WHERE class_name = 'Foo';
There are no results.
SELECT class_name, partitioned FROM db_class WHERE class_name = 'foo';
class_name partitioned
