  • Patent number: 11297139
    Abstract: In one aspect, a server in a data processing system stores database records in association with schema information identifying the particular schema by which the stored records are structured. Storing the schema information advantageously enables the node to provide schema information in association with requested records, enabling clients to determine the schema(s) associated with requested records. As a further advantage, the server in one or more embodiments operates as a central repository of schema definitions. Consequently, any given client requesting a record of a given record type can retrieve the schema used for structuring that record and translate the received record into the schema used by the requesting node for records of that type. Thus, disparate types of clients, or clients running different software versions, may use a central repository of data records of a given type, even where the clients use different schemas for processing such records.
