Abstract

A database schema includes database classes that represent various database objects (e.g., tables, views, etc.) and user classes that represent users and roles of the database. The database schema also has permission classes that represent permissions of the users/roles with respect to the database objects. The permission classes are modeled in the database schema as associations between database classes and user classes.
