This means all the entities within a SQL database that we might want to look at, modify, or create and delete are described by these objects, in a database-agnostic way. A structure of SchemaItems also provides a "visitor" interface which is the primary method by which other methods operate upon the schema. The SQL package extends this structure with its own clause-specific objects as well as the visitor interface, so that the schema package "plugs in" to the SQL package.
