CiscoWorks Database Tables

This appendix contains information on the CiscoWorks database table structures.

CiscoWorks Database Tables

This section contains a chart depicting the relationship between the major tables in the CiscoWorks database and provides table structure characteristics.

Table C-1 lists the conventions used in defining fields.

Table C-1 Database Field Conventions

Convention	Description
Int	A whole number between 231 -1 (2,147,483,647) and -231 (-2,147,483,648) inclusive. Storage size is 4 bytes.
Smallint	A whole number between 215 -1 (32,767) and -215 (-32,768) inclusive. Storage size is 2 bytes.
Tinyint	A whole number between 0 and 255 inclusive. Storage size is 1 byte.
NULL	A field that does not have to be filled. The word NULL does not have to be entered, the field may be left blank if no data is to be entered.

Table-to-table links throughout the database structure are accomplished using id fields. Examples are: "device_id," "people_id," "admin_id," and so on.

Device Inventory Database Tables

Device inventory consists of all the information that you can associate with a specific device, including contact, address, phone, and vendor data.

Figure C-1 illustrates CiscoWorks database table interrelationships for device inventory.

Polling Database Tables

Device polling consists of all the information that you want to gather from a device based on how you have set up your poll groups.

Figure C-2 illustrates CiscoWorks database table interrelationships in device polling.

Figure C-2 Device Polling Database Tables Relationships

The following database tables are used during device polling and described in the tables below.

• Polls_config
  

• Start_stop
  

• Pollers
  

• Attr
  

• Columns
  

  ---
