Abstract
A pair of system tables are created in a system tablespace of a database and store free-form data that is defined by, and provided by, an end user. The information in a first system table determines whether a user table in a user tablespace of the database is capable of being annotated with the free-form data. The second system table stores the free-form data that is used to annotate that user table. So maintained, third parties can access the free-form data for analysis.
