Where can I get documentation on the MCMS database schema, can I modify the schema or access the databse directly?
faq3.style.display=’none’; A: The schema is not publicly documented. It is intended that all access tho the MCMS repository is via the tools provided or the Publishing API (PAPI). If you modify the schema, Microsoft won’t support your MCMS deployment. This is actually a good thing! If you have custom code accessing the database and Microsoft change the schema between versions or service packs, and it may break your code! Just say no to direct access to the MCMS database. For those interested, some of the aspects of the schema are detailed in the MCMS Complete Guide book from Addison Wesley.
