Objects Extracted and Not Extracted

Objects Extracted and Not Extracted

After you create and load a JDBC resource, you can view and run data lineage on the metadata objects that Metadata Manager extracted.
To view lineage between views and tables, specify a database-specific SQL query to extract the view definitions when you create or edit a JDBC resource. Metadata Manager uses the view definitions text to build lineage between views and tables.

Objects Extracted

Metadata Manager extracts the following objects from a JDBC resource:
  • Schema name
  • Database Schema
  • Table name, Comments
  • Column name, Nullable, Position, Length, Scale, Comments, Data type.
    Data type is a generic equivalent of the proprietary data type.
  • Folder
  • Operation
  • View name, View definition.
    View definitions are extracted when the view definition extraction SQL is specified during resource configuration.

Objects Not Extracted

Metadata Manager does not extract the following objects from a JDBC resource:
  • Catalog name
  • Synonyms of tables and views
  • Indexes
  • Stored procedures
  • Triggers
  • Primary key and foreign key information
  • Profiling information
