Abstract
A data consumer is provided with a system that enables automatic generation of a virtual database schema in order to support a customized pattern of data consumption across one or more source databases. In one embodiment, a metadata manager component is configured to facilitate creation of a first data tag and a second data tag. A schema definition manager component is configured to facilitate creation of a data entity that groups the first data tag with the second data tag. A virtual schema generation service component generates the virtual database schema by analyzing the data entity and, based on the grouping of the first data tag with the second data tag, automatically generating and storing a database query statement that, when executed, causes a retrieval of data consistent with data location indicators included in the first and second data tags.
