Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.
