Virtualizing schema relations over a single database relation

摘要

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system maps one or more virtual relations to a table of a relational database management system. The system generates a structured query language (SQL) statement for the table from a SQL statement for a virtual relation by applying the mapping to one or more elements of the SQL statement for the virtual relation. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for mapping virtual relations to a table in substantially the same manners described above.
