Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
receiving, from a metadata database, information related to a base table;
determining a table object associated with the base table, the table object including a first set of metadata;
generating a nested object based on a second set of metadata, the second set of metadata including information linking the nested object to the table object;
generating a second table object associated with the nested object, the second table object representing a secondary index of the base table, the second table object including information linking the second table object to the nested object;
establishing a link between the second table object to the base table based on the nested object;
storing, in the metadata database, the nested object and the second table object;
generating a second nested object based on a particular set of metadata, the particular set of metadata including information linking the second nested object to the table object;
generating a third table object associated with the second nested object, the third table object representing a particular secondary index of the base table, the third table object including information linking the third table object to the second nested object;
establishing a link between the third table object to the base table based on the second nested object; and
storing, in the metadata database, the second nested object and the third table object.
