Metadata:
The tables and the fields defining the structure of the data. The data about the data.
Method:
A method is equivalent to a relational database stored procedure, except that it executes on the data contents of an object, within the bounds of that object.
Microsoft Windows:
The Microsoft Windows operating system.
Multiple Inheritance:
Some object models allow multiple inheritance. Multiple inheritance allows a class to inherit details from more than one class at the same time. The result is a hierarchy that goes both upward and downward. Thus a class can become both a parent and a child of the same class, and a specialization and abstraction of the same class as well. Multiple inheritance can create a dual direction hierarchical structure, which is flexible, but can also become exceedingly complex.
Multiple Loop:
A loop executed within another loop (see Child Loop and Parent Loop ).
Multiuser:
A computer environment allowing multiple end users to access the same software, hardware, and/or database, all at the same time (see Concurrent ).
