I dont recall data dictionary in ServiceNow but in general this is the tables and their definitions along with other objects like field types and so forth. In serviceNow its sys_db_object for tables and their definitions, sys_metadata for the metadata (obviously) and many others , which in conjunctions allow us to have such a robust and abstracted database layer.

Of course I might be wrong in some points but in general that's it.

Hi,

The system defines data dictionary, data modeling, and entity relationship information in multiple tables.

• Tables [sys_db_object]: Contains a record for each table.
• Dictionary Entries [sys_dictionary]: Contains additional details for each table and the definition for every column on each table. Each row represents either a column on a table or a table.
• Field Labels [sys_documentation]: Contains the human-readable labels and language information.

Please mark as correct/helpful, If you find any help

The underlying tables that store information about the associated database. Only Oracle should write to and read these tables. Users rarely access them directly because they are normalized, and most of the data is stored in a cryptic format.
