Does anyone know about what are the fields in the Primavera Database mean?
Right now, I am establishing a database with Access to connect it to Primavera, and after I get the tables imported from the Primavera, I confused what is these fields stand for.
Could anyone have a index or a dictionary to figure out this issue?

    Hi, you could export to Excel and obtain the field names that way. The xls export gives the field name and human readable one. A long job but a solution.

    Look on the Documents CD in the installation kit. There is a folder labeled,
    E:\Documentation\Technical Documentation\Schema Docs\PMDBSchemaDocs.zip. Inside that zip file is a directory titled “tables”. Inside that folder is the 130+ tables and descriptions of each field. Talk about buried treasure! Even Bluebeard did not hide his loot that thoroughly. Good luck!

    Thanks, it helps a lot,
    but my installation CD is not a legal one, so I can’t find it in the CD......
    So could you send this file to my e-mail address?

    No, I am afraid that this action would be illegal. International copyright laws forbid this. If you ever develop your own software, I am sure that you would not want others to freely share it with others.

    Ronald,
    Don’t misunderstand, I am working with legal P6 in company.
    What I am doing is do some practise in my home with a standalone some gave me, and try some measures to find a way to establish a project database.
    The difficulty is our legal P6 disc is in the other city and we are in the field.
