Abstract
Systems and methods for improved exposure of database schema information are disclosed. Generally, a database driver may retrieve and provide database schema information according to one of two default methods or, also, a third override method. The first default method is to execute a query on the database. The second default method is to retrieve information from a hard-coded collection stored locally at the driver. The third override method is to retrieve information from a designated file that may be updated at any time without having to update the database and/or driver binaries.
