data dictionary

A data dictionary is (generally) a read-only set of tables and views that holds metadata - used in a database management system. The data dictionary may be considered a database in its own right.

Amongst other things, a Data Dictionary holds the following information:

*Usernames, Roles and Privileges
*Schema Objects
*Integrity Constraints
*Stored procedures and Triggers
*General Database Structure
*Audit information
*Space allocations

One benefit of a well prepared data dictionary is a consistency between data items across different tables.

Urban Dictionary

A dictionary that, contrary to its direct meaning, only defines words that are spoken in suburban high schools or cyberspace. I suppose this is great for people who are not online or for anal people who like chronolizing every hip new word they use.
Hey, let me see what OMG means in this book I'm reading on Urban Dictionary . com

"OMG = Oh My God" repeat x 50

Which is funny since that particular abbreviation is also street talk for "Outlaw Motorcycle Gang" but that's not going to get mentioned close to where I stop reading repetitive definitions.
