Can BB provide a data dictionary / table map?

Elliott Wood

While the BB Export tools are extensive, they are perhaps, overly extensive. From database view the available tables and fields may easily extend well beyond several thousand possible fields. Most churches are likely not using all of these fields. But digging through the available fields to determine what fields are in use and how they relate to each other is a monumental reverse engineering task.

The fields that are available from the web view are mostly lookup fields that add some ChMS specific conditions to the Raisers Edge database.

I don't know how many BB customers are preparing their exports but it sure seems like a big waste of time for everyone to reverse engineer in their own separate paths, so maybe BB could provide some guidance.
