invention first locates the log records relating to the
information regarding data definitions which have been deleted or
otherwise inaccessible from the system catalog. Then, the log
records are extracted or read. The data definition information
is extracted from these read log records and, finally, the
extracted information is translated into the appropriate data
definition instructions for the database management system so
that the data definitions may be restored.

1. A computer system for recreating data definitions in a
database system, the computer system comprising:
log records for storing information, including information
regarding changes in the database system; and
a processor for extracting data definition information from
the information stored in the log records and translating the
data definition information into data definition instructions for
the database system.
