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.

Table name	What it contains
Carto_TemplateInstruction	Data frame rules, layout rules, and python scripts used as part of template instructions
CKB_Database	Metadata about any geodatabase files that are associated with instances in your product library
CKB_DataModel	References to all data model files that are in the product library
CKB_DataModelVersion	Version information for the geodatabase schemas such as major and minor version numbers, revision number, and edition number
CKB_Dataset	Data model dataset feature classes and tables, as well as metadata about each one
CKB_File	References to files that have been loaded into the product library
CKB_FileData	Metadata for files in the product library
CKB_FileVersion	Information about specific versions of files
CKB_RelManager	References to relationships that exist in the geodatabase schemas
CKB_SpatialReference	All the spatial references that can be used with data for chart and map production
CKB_User	The names of users who are allowed to access the product library
FB_Entry	Parameters related to features that have been created using the Feature Builder
ML_Entry	Ancillary information such as cartographic versions of tables and feature classes and references to lookup tables
MT_MaskingRule	Information related to masking rules that have been configured for data in specific data models
PCat_<product class name>_AOI	Polygons that represent all the areas of interest for a product class in the product library (For example, the table that contains all the Joint Operation Graphic [JOG] areas of interest [AOIs] would be PCat_JOG_AOI.)
PCat_<product class name>_Instance	The names of the data frames for all map sheets in a map series for a product class in the product library (For example, the table that contains all the JOG instances would be PCat_JOG_Instance.)
PCat_<product class name>_Product	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.)
PCat_ClassVersion	Version information for the product classes such as major and minor version numbers, revision number, and edition number
PCat_EntryType	Information related to map sheets and data frames that are accessible from the product library
PCat_Permission	The permissions assigned for each product library user
PCat_ProductClass	The names of all the product classes that have been loaded into the product library
PCat_Solution	The names of all the solutions that have data schemas loaded into the product library
PL_BatchJob	Stores batch job files that are linked to a product for validation of the production database
PL_FieldConfiguration	Defines display and behavior of attribute fields when editing
PN_ClassVersionQuery	References to queries created at the product class level
PN_CustomObject	References to options used for implementing and populating instances and publishing
PN_ExtractionExclusion	Tables and feature classes that are being excluded from extraction using extraction queries
PN_ExtractionQuery	Metadata related to the extraction queries for different parts of the product library
PN_ReplicationHistory	Metadata related to replicas that have been created for instances in the product library Nota: This only applies if you are using an ArcSDE geodatabase and the Nautical Solution.
Prod_ComponentVersion	Version information for tools such as major and minor versions, revision numbers, and edition numbers
PV_DefQuery	Definition queries that have been created for feature classes, along with identifiers for the sets in which they belong
PV_DefQuerySet	The names of definition query sets
PV_MaskingSet	The names of masking sets
PV_MaskingSetting	Masking settings that have been configured for feature classes, along with identifiers for the masking sets in which they belong
PV_View	The names of views that have been created using Views
