Tables in the product library geodatabase

The information related to the product library is stored as records in tables. There are several tables created for each product class in the product library, and they contain information such as all the series, products, instances, and areas of interest associated with one product class. There are also separate tables that outline the solutions, users, and files in the product library. The areas of interest are stored in a feature class.

Since the basic structure of the product library is a hierarchy, there are several table items that are related to items in other tables within the product library. Below is a table that contains the names of the tables in the product library as well as a summary of what is contained in each one.

The names of all the map sheets in a map series for a product class in the product library (For example, the table that contains all the JOG map sheets would be PCat_JOG_Product.)

PCat_<product class name>_Series

The names of all the map series available for a product class in the product library (For example, the table that contains the map series for JOG would be PCat_JOG_Series.)
