Tables (System_Runtime Schema)

The System_Runtime schema contains the following tables.

Tables

Table	Description
Assemblies	Contains instances of common language runtime (CLR) assemblies.
AssemblyReferences	Contains the identities of assemblies that are referenced by instances in [System_Runtime].[Assemblies].
BindingContextAssemblies	Associates assemblies with a binding context.
BindingContexts	A logical grouping of assemblies. Assembly, type, and method references can be resolved if the referenced assemblies are in the same binding context.
BoundAssemblyReferences	Contains assembly reference bindings within a binding context. An assembly reference is bound if an assembly exists in the same binding context with matching assembly information.
BoundMethodReferences	Contains bound method references. A method reference is bound if a corresponding method definition exists in the same binding context.
BoundTypeReferences	Contains bound type references. A type reference is bound if a corresponding type definition exists in the same binding context.
CalledMethods	Tracks calls between methods. Virtual calls to polymorphic methods are not resolved to their runtime targets. Method arguments are not contained within this extent.
EventMethods	Maps only "other" (see ECMA-335, Partition II, Section 18) event methods in [System_Runtime].[Events] to their associated methods in [System_Runtime].[Methods]. The "add", "remove" and "fire" methods are mapped in [System_Runtime].[Events].
Events	Contains instances of common language runtime (CLR) events.
ExplicitOverrides	Stores explicit method overrides, which are method overrides that are specified in the metadata.
Fields	Provides field information for types in [System_Runtime].[Types].
Files	Maps files to the assemblies that they contain. Note that this is not yet populated by the LoadAssembly.exe tool.
FriendAssemblies	Designates the friend assemblies of a source assembly. Friend assemblies can access the internal types of the source assembly.
GenericTypeParameters	Stores information for generic parameters that are declared in generic types.
ImplementedInterfaces	Provides information about the interfaces implemented by a type.
MethodDefinitions	Stores method definitions. This is a specialized extent in the Methods/MethodDefinitions/MethodReferences hierarchy.
MethodGenericTypeParameters	Stores information for generic parameters that are declared in generic methods.
MethodReferences	Stores method references. This is a specialized extent in the Methods/MethodDefinitions/MethodReferences hierarchy.
Methods	Stores methods. This is the generalized extent in the Methods/MethodDefinitions/MethodReferences hierarchy.
Modules	Contains instances of common language runtime (CLR) modules. A module is a single file that contains metadata and executable content.
Namespaces	Contains instances of common language runtime (CLR) namespaces. These are scoped at the assembly level - if a namespace name exists in two different assemblies, two different instances of that namespace will exist in [System_Runtime].[Namespaces].
ParameterCustomModifiers	Stores custom modifiers for method parameters.
Parameters	Provides details for method parameters.
Properties	The number of elements in a marshaled ECMA-335 native array (LPArray).
PropertyMethods	Maps only "other" (see ECMA-335, Partition II, Section 17) property methods to their associated methods in [System_Runtime].[Methods]. The get and set accessors are mapped in [System_Runtime].[Properties].
Resources	Contains binary resource data that is owned by assemblies. Note that this is not yet populated by the LoadAssembly.exe tool.
ReturnTypeCustomModifiers	Stores custom modifiers that are associated with return types.
TypeDefinitions	Stores type definitions. This is a specialized extent in the Types/TypeDefinitions/TypeReferences hierarchy.
TypeReferences	Stores type references. This is a specialized extent in the Types/TypeDefinitions/TypeReferences hierarchy.
Types	Stores .NET Framework type information for managed constructs, such as classes, values, enumerations, delegates, and interfaces. This is the generalized extent in the Types/TypeDefinitions/TypeReferences hierarchy.
TypeSignatureArguments	This extent contains information about recursive type signatures, type variables, and generic arguments in a type signature.
TypeSignatureArrayDimensions	Stores the dimensions of an array type signature.
TypeSignatures	Stores type signature information. Different kinds of type signatures store specific information in the related extents [System_Runtime].[TypeSignatureArguments] and [System_Runtime].[TypeSignatureArrayDimensions].
