Tables in the product library geodatabase (Maritime Charting)

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.

Caution:

Don't edit these tables directly; doing so may corrupt the product library.

PL_Database	Metadata about any geodatabase files that are associated with instances in your product library
PL_DataModel	References to all data model files that are in the product library
PL_DataModelVersion	Version information for the geodatabase schemas such as major and minor version numbers, revision number, and edition number
PL_Dataset	Data model dataset feature classes and tables, as well as metadata about each one
PL_File	References to files that have been loaded into the product library
PL_FileData	Metadata for files in the product library
PL_FileVersion	Information about specific versions of files
PL_Relationship	References to relationships that exist in the geodatabase schemas
PL_SpatialReference	All the spatial references that can be used with data for chart and map production
PL_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
PL_<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 PL_JOG_AOI.)
PL_<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 PL_JOG_Instance.)
PL_<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 PL_JOG_Product.)
PL_<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 PL_JOG_Series.)
