A record of a table is identified that references the relational table, and a portion of a schema describing the record is updated to include the relevant data of the relational table as a hierarchical level of the record schema. The schema element includes data elements of the relational table relevant to the record, each element having its own type. As additional records of the same table that are related to the relational table are called, the schema element may be updated to include additional relational table data elements.
