Database table annotation processing

A computer-implemented system comprising:

• a storage;
• and
• a processor that receives, with an annotation processing engine an instruction to build a database table,
• receives, with the annotation processing engine, annotations made to the database table from a storage of the computing device, the annotations comprising one or more labels identifying features of the database table and at least one join,
• determines, with the annotation processing engine, a database server engine compatible with the database table,
• generates, with the annotation processing engine, a query in a native language of the database server engine compatible with the database table based on the instruction to build the database table and at least one operation in the annotations made to the database table,
• sends, with the annotation processing engine, the query in the native language of the database server engine to the database server engine, and
• builds, with the database server engine, the database table according to the query in the native language of the database server engine to generate a built database table.

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions which are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at an annotation processing engine on a computing device, an instruction to build a database table;
• receiving, at the annotation processing engine on the computing device, annotations made to the database table from a storage of the computing device, the annotations comprising one or more labels identifying features of the database table and at least one join;
• determining, by the annotation processing engine on the computing device, a database server engine compatible with the database table;
• generating, by the annotation processing engine on the computing device, a query in a native language of the database server engine compatible with the database table based on the instruction to build the database table and at least one operation in the annotations made to the database table;
• sending, by the annotation processing engine on the computing device, the query in the native language of the database server engine to the database server engine;
• and
• building, by the database server engine, the database table according to the query in the native language of the database server engine to generate a built database table.
