Virtual System Tables

Virtual system tables (VSTs) provide 4GL and SQL-92 applications access to the same database information that you can collect with the PROMON utility. The virtual system tables, or schema tables, have no physical records until the database manager generates them at run time. This enables a 4GL or SQL-92 application to retrieve information as run-time data.
