System Objects
Description
System objects are specific to the database vendor. Sometimes they are stored in a specific database(s), otherwise in specific schema(s). Starting with the version 3.5.8-funcrel we exclude System Objects from metric calculations, and consider them as external. The names of the system database / schema can be changed directly in the configuration files, located in the system_objects subdirectory. Starting with the version 3.7.4-funcrel, system objects have a new property named “System object”.
System objects by vendor
Some vendors store system objects in specific databases, this is the case for Microsoft SQL Server and ASE Sybase, which are identified as “SQL Server”. Other vendors store system objects in specific schemas, and this is the case for almost all other vendors. In the table below we list the names of System Database / Schema by vendor. They are now considered as external and we systematically exclude them from metric calculations.
