IBM i catalog tables and views
The IBM® i catalog includes the views and tables in the QSYS2 schema displayed in this section.
- SYSCATALOGS
The SYSCATALOGS view contains one row for each relational database that a user can connect to. The following table describes the columns in the SYSCATALOGS view. - SYSCHKCST
The SYSCHKCST view contains one row for each check constraint in the SQL schema. The following table describes the columns in the SYSCHKCST view. - SYSCOLAUTH
The SYSCOLAUTH view contains one row for every privilege granted on a column. Note that this catalog view cannot be used to determine whether a user is authorized to a column because the privilege to use a column could be acquired through a group user profile or special authority (such as *ALLOBJ).
