Metadata Store Configuration Parameters

The Metadata Store (MD Store) is where Hyper-Q persistently stores metadata information. This includes information about the database objects that cannot be natively stored in the target database's schema. For example, custom FORMAT strings, default column values, and SET and MULTISET semantics of a Teradata database table.

The metadata is stored in a pre-configured table, and is accessed at runtime when retrieving and updating object metadata. The metadata information is stored in the table mdstore_schema.MDSTORE_TBL for each database to which the user session connects.
