File:Addendum 29 Map of Where Things are Stored.docx

When you design a query, do a report or just want to look at what is in the database in a raw state, you have to find where things are stored. Everything in Prime is stored in Tables. These tables have a naming convention.

If you go into the Navigation Pane and look at the list of tables, they are named following the below conventions.

Table Naming Example What it Means
Begins with Z zTitleIII Special Program
No prefix ClientsW Main Tables - Hold Clients Information
sub subCCity Supporting Table - usually pulldowns, City list
yy (except yyIM) yyQuestions Interview system - List of Questions
yyIM yyIMessages Internal Messaging - Messages
_Deleted ClientsW_deleted Automatic backup of deleted records (you might not be able to see these)
Ypj ypjProblems Project Management - problems in project
