Primary Key 

Unique system-generated sequential identifier for the spatial dataset record.

int4   
 Name of the spatial dataset.varchar50   
 

Code that represents the spatial query type.

For a complete list of codes, see tSpatialQueryType Table.

varchar10   
 

Code that represents the spatial  data set type.

For a complete list of datasets types, see tSpatialDataSetType Table.

varchar10   
 Catastrophe type to which the dataset applies. varchar255  
 Reserved for future use.varchar20  
 The smallest longitude values in the spatial dataset.numeric9 (9,6)  
 The smallest latitude values in the spatial dataset.numeric9 (9,6)  
 The largest longitude values in the spatial dataset.numeric9 (9,6)  
 The largest latitude values in the spatial dataset.numeric9 (9,6)  
 

Geographic region to which the dataset applies. Note that, in this situation, this field may contain both region (i.e. Europe, North America) as well as area (U.S. State) information.

varchar50  
 Reserved for future use.varchar100  
 

Indicates whether the dataset is available for use during a Geospatial analysis.

  • 1 = Yes (available)
  • 0 = No (unavailable)
bit1   
 A seldom used value corresponding to Microsoft’s System.Web.Caching.CacheItemPriority values. int4  
 Date and time the spatial dataset was createddatetime4
(getdate())
 
 Date the spatial dataset was created.datetime4
(getdate())
 
 Description of the spatial dataset.varchar4000  
 Storm category value for tropical cyclone.  Magnitude value for earthquake.varchar4000  
 Insured loss amount for historical events.varchar4000  
 Notes about the dataset.varchar4000  
 Year in which historical event occurred.int4  
 

The most important field(s) for understanding the particular spatial dataset. 

For example, using tropical cyclone Dolly, the SpatialFields include the MaxWindSpeed for the GRID type spatial dataset and Distance for the PATH type spatial dataset.

xml0  
 

Code that represents the analysis types for which the spatial dataset can be used.

For a complete list of codes, see tAnalysisType Table.
varchar10  
 

Code that represents the geographic region.

For a complete list of codes, see tLicenseRegion Table.

smallint2  
 

Unique system-generated sequential identifier for the business unit record.

int4 
((0))
 
 Name of the map layer group to which the spatial dataset is applied. Reserved for future use.varchar100  
Objects that depend on tSpatialDataset
 Database ObjectObject TypeDescriptionDep Level
tSpatialDatasetAnalysis tabletSpatialDatasetAnalysisTableReserved for overriding a default distance of 100 miles if it is not precise enough for a particular spatial dataset’s processing.1
tSpatialDatasetGroupDefinition tabletSpatialDatasetGroupDefinitionTableA cross reference table that links datasets to their dataset groups.1
tSpatialDatasetHazardAttributeXref tabletSpatialDatasetHazardAttributeXrefTableSystem reference table used to identify the hazard attribute associated with a spatial dataset.1
tSpatialDatasetSources tabletSpatialDatasetSourcesTable

Stores the data needed by the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) to locate and interact with the spatial datasets stored in the application file system.

In Touchstone 6.0, AIR moved most of the spatial data used by Touchstone out of the Touchstone databases and into the Touchstone file system. Touchstone uses GDAL to interact with the spatial data in the file system.
