OMetaData

An OMetaData object is a collection of OMDAttribute objects that represent the description information about a particular schema object in the database. For example, see attributes for a OMetaData object of type table (ORAMD_TABLE).

Remarks

The OMetaData object can be visualized as a table with three columns:

· Metadata Attribute Name

· Metadata Attribute Value

· Flag specifying whether the Value is another OMetaData Object

The OMDAttribute objects contained in the OMetaData object can be accessed by subscripting using ordinal integers or by using the name of the property. Referencing a subscript that is not in the collection (0 to Count-1) results in the return of a NULL OMDAttribute object.
