ABSTRACT:
A method, system and computer-readable medium is provided for grouping database objects into logical groupings in order to simplify administrative and other operations that need to be performed by the database server. Such operations can be performed once at the logical group level for a group of related objects, as opposed to at the individual database object level. For increased flexibility, the logical groupings need not dictate the format, schema or location of their members. A hierarchy may be established between the logical groupings, where child groupings inherit some or all of the properties of the parent groupings. A correspondence may be established between some groupings and operating system directories, allowing identifiers associated with the groupings to be used as aliases for the full operating system paths to the corresponding directories.
