Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for applying policies at a database appliance. The database appliance, according to one embodiment, can receive a database request and determine a set of information related to the request. The information related to the request can include information, such as metadata, defined at information systems external to the database server to which the request is directed. Policies can be applied in terms of the information related to the request. By leveraging information systems, embodiments of the present invention allow policies to be applied to account for the networked environment.
