Metadata Create a Database Schema Repository with Meta Data Services in SQL Server 2000

摘要

SQL Server 2000 Meta Data Services is a repository technology that stores and manages metadata for SQL Server. Instead of building database schemas over and over, Meta Data Services allows you to freeze an entire schema for use in other projects. You can also use these schemas for training, testing, or debugging. In this article, the authors will review the various components of Meta Data Services and show how it can be programmed using a Visual Basic client, XML, and XSLT.They will also show you how to manage and manipulate your metadata by generating a simple database schema using a SQL Server repository.
