Application Usage Domains

The new domain construct can act as lightweight type modifiers that centrally document intended data usage, extending and drastically improving SQL standard domains. This allows developers to better understand how the data is used and improves overall data quality, without the complexity and incompatibility of usage-specific data types or user-defined types.

Application Usage Annotations

Annotations are additional property metadata for database objects. They are centrally stored in the database so that you can share metadata information across applications, modules, and microservices. You can use them to customize business logic, user interfaces or provide information about your database objects to your metadata repositories.
