system catalog
The
data dictionary
of a
DBMS
. The system
catalogue stores
meta-data
including the schemas of the
databases. It is a mini-database, and is usually stored
using the DBMS itself in special tables called system tables. It maybe referred to as being "on line", as it is
active, and can be queried by users like any other table.
