Application: Hybrid table secondary index for lookups, unique checks, and referential integrity constraints (Patent ID: US20240104116A1)
The technology described in the patent involves generating nested objects and table objects based on metadata to create secondary indexes of a base table. The system includes processors that perform operations such as linking nested objects to table objects, generating secondary indexes, and storing the generated objects in a metadata database. The method and computer-storage medium also include similar operations for creating nested and table objects based on metadata, determining table object associations, and generating constraint objects.
