Geoportal Database Tables
The Geoportal Server database scripts create a set of tables that define database users, permissions, indexes, tables, and initial values for the database.The tables are described below.
- Tables created by the Geoportal SQL database creation scripts Seven tables are created by the Geoportal SQL database creation scripts. Read about each table's columns and the meaning of that column's information in the chart below.
Table Name Column Name Meaning GPT_COLLECTION
COLUUID
Unique string associated with each collection
SHORTNAME
Name of the collection
GPT_COLLECTION_MEMBER

Document UUID of the record in the collection
COLUUID

HARVEST_DATE
Date of the harvest
HARVESTED_COUNT
Number of documents harvested (duplicated from harvest_report column for better performance and sorting)
VALIDATED_COUNT
Number of harvested documents that were valid (duplicated from harvest_report column for better performance and sorting)
PUBLISHED_COUNT
Number of harvested documents that were published to the portal (duplicated from harvest_report column for better performance and sorting)
HARVEST_REPORT

GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_COMPLETED
UUID
Unique string associated with each completed harvesting job
HARVEST_ID
ID of the repository that was harvested in that job
INPUT_DATE
Date and timestamp marking when the harvesting job was created. This is the same INPUT_DATE that is in the GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_PENDING table
HARVEST_DATE
Date and timestamp for when the harvesting job was completed. This is the same HARVEST_DATE that is in the GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_PENDING table
JOB_TYPE
Harvesting job type (e.g., "full"=Full Harvest or "now"= Harvest Records that have been updated since last harvest. Same JOB_TYPE that is in the GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_PENDING table
SERVICE_ID
The Harvesting Service ID of the Harvesting Service that took over the job. Its ID is defined through the Harvesting Service install wizard (e.g., GPT_Harvesting_Service)
GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_PENDING
UUID
Unique string associated with each pending harvesting job
HARVEST_ID
ID of the repository that will be harvested in this job
INPUT_DATE
Date and timestamp marking when the harvesting job was created. This is the same INPUT_DATE that is in the GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_COMPLETED table
HARVEST_DATE
Date and timestamp for when the harvesting job was completed. This is the same HARVEST_DATE that is in the GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_COMPLETED table
JOB_STATUS
Status of the harvesting job (e.g., "submitted" or "running")
JOB_TYPE
Harvesting job type (e.g., "full"=Full Harvest or "now"= Harvest Records that have been updated since last harvest. Same JOB_TYPE that is in the GPT_HARVESTING_JOBS_COMPLETED table
CRITERIA
SERVICE_ID
The Harvesting Service ID of the Harvesting Service that will take over the job. Its ID is defined through the Harvesting Service install wizard (e.g., GPT_Harvesting_Service).
GPT_RESOURCE
DOCUUID
Unique string associated with each resource
TITLE
Title of the resource
OWNER
UserID of the user who has ownership of the document. Corresponds to USERID in the GPT_USER table
INPUTDATE
Date resource was registered
UPDATEDATE
Date resource was last updated
ID
Number assigned to registered resources to provide backward compatibility with the Geoportal 9.3.x harvesting mechanisms
Note:
DOCUUID vs. ID: DOCUUID is used to uniquely identify resources. ID, being a numerical value, is also used because certain database operations are faster on numerical values. If you are migrating a Geoportal 9.3.x database to Geoportal 10, migration will extract the metadata xml out of the 9.3.x GPT_METADATA table to the version 10 GPT_RESOURCE_DATA table. Both GPT_RESOURCE and GPT_RESOURCE_DATA are linked together using the ID for performance on UPDATE requests. For searching, and reading/downloading raw metadata, the DOCUUID is better to use. Maintaining both the ID and the DOCUUID for resources is a balance that maintains backward compatibility, usability, and increases performance.
APPROVALSTATUS
Indicates if resource is approved ("approved"=approved, "NULL"= not approved, record has any other status)
PUBMETHOD
How the resource was published to the portal (e.g. "upload", "registration", "harvester" (synchronization), "batch", "editor")
SITEUUID
If the resource is synchronized, this is the site identifier string of the registered resource from which it came.
SOURCEURI
User id and originating filename/location of the resource
FILEIDENTIFIER
Value that may be stored in the resource's metadata xml to distinguish it from other resources. Because not every record may have a FileIdentifier in its XML, the geoportal assigns the DOCUUID to uniquely identify each record
ACL
Indicates the restriction policy (if any) on the record
HOST_URL
If the resource is a registered network resource, this is its URL
PROTOCOL_TYPE
If the resource is a registered network resource, this is the protocol it uses (e.g., "arcims", "res", "csw", "oai", "waf")
PROTOCOL
Xml encoding of the resource's parameters, as defined when the resource is registered. An example with WAF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><protocol type="WAF"><username/><password/></protocol>
FREQUENCY
How often the resource should be synchronized (e.g., "Monthly", "BiWeekly", "Weekly", "Daily", "Hourly", "Once", "Skip")
SEND_NOTIFICATION
True/false: send user an email when resource is synchronized
FINDABLE
String associated with each metadata record, indicating whether it can be found when searching for metadata. The value can either be null for metadata that is not describing a searchable endpoint or true or false for metadata records that are describing a searchable endpoint.
SEARCHABLE
String associated with each metadata record indicating whether to include the resource in the distributed search list. The value can either be null for metadata that is not describing a searchable endpoint or true or false for metadata records that are describing a searchable endpoint.
SYNCHRONIZABLE
String associated with each metadata record indicating whether the content can be synchronized. The value can either be null for metadata that is not describing a searchable endpoint or true or false for metadata records that are describing a searchable endpoint.
