  • Custom tag definition and translation in a database
    Patent number: 11429578
    Abstract: A method includes generating a table in a relational database, the table comprising an empty column reserved for a custom tag. The column has a default column name. The method also includes, in response to an instruction to create the custom tag, generating a column mapping that maps a name of the custom tag to the column name. The column mapping is stored outside the relational database and is used by a parser to translate between the name of the custom tag and the column name.
