Database Objects
RDBMSs manage different kinds of objects
- databases, schemas, tablespaces
- relations/tables, attributes, tuples/records
- constraints, assertions
- views, stored procedures, triggers, rules
Many objects have names (and, in PostgreSQL, all have OIDs).
How are the different types of objects represented?
How do we go from a name (or OID) to bytes stored on disk?
