Databases should contain their own Metadata – Instrumentation in Floe
Summary
Databases should contain their own metadata via a queryable sys schema; Floe details a metadata-rich design with system objects like sys.table, sys.query, and sys.query_log, enabling SQL-based introspection and diagnostics. The article also discusses compatibility with ANSI INFORMATION_SCHEMA, ADBC, and PostgreSQL, and presents design principles for metadata exposure.
