Background documentation Database Catalog Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The database catalog of a database instance consists of metadata in which definitions of database objects such as Basis tables, view tables, synonyms, value ranges, indexes, users, and user groups are stored.

The database catalog is made up of the following sections:

·        Information about the installation of the database system and metadata with the definitions of users and user groups

This section is not assigned to any user or user group.

·        Metadata for the objects generated by a user or user group

Among other things, these can include metadata for basis tables and view tables.

A user can only access the metadata of another user or another user group if authorized to do so (see User Concept).
