List of table descriptions and database structure

Question

Is there a list with descriptions of the tables SBO uses? Or   a specification of the structure of the database?
I can see 600+ seperate tables with useless names (mostly 4 characters, like aact, ach1, acpr, etc). It's very hard to make some sense out of this. I need to know which tables to use and how they relate to each other when retreiving centain information. (At his moment I'm trying to gather all expenses of a service contract.)

Hi Roland,
There is also a method in B1 DI that will let you retrieve a list of all B1 table names with a description for each.  I wrote a small windows program in b to dump them to a text box that you might find helpful.
After connecting to a DI company, here's the code to run:
Dim rs As Recordset
            Dim bobobj As SBObob = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoBridge)
            rs = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
            rs = bobobj.GetTableList()
            Do While Not rs.EoF
                TextBox2.Text &= rs.Fields.Item(0).Value & vbTab & rs.Fields.Item(1).Value & vbCrLf
                rs.MoveNext()
            Loop
        End If
I copied & pasted that data to a spreadsheet for easy reference & searching.
