Appendix B. Using Database Information; Asset And User Information Tables - Lenovo ThinkPad G40 Administrator's Manual

Appendix B. Using database information

The System Information Center program comes with a built-in database. By
default, the IBM Cloudscape database provides several tables that can contain a
variety of asset and user information. Understanding the information provided
with this database can help you perform advanced functions such as exporting
information from the database or creating a custom report.
Although you will primarily need to understand tables with asset and user
information, internal system table information is also included. This appendix
includes the following information:
