# Table Reference

This is an auto-generated reference of all database tables. Documentation comes from
model docstrings in the source code. This is comprehensive but technical - concept
pages provide better learning material.

## How to Use This Reference

- Each section shows a database table
- Table name, columns, and relationships are auto-generated
- Docstrings from the Python classes appear as descriptions
- For conceptual understanding, see the concept pages:
  : - {doc}`../concepts/overview`
    - {doc}`../concepts/observatory_hierarchy`
    - {doc}`../concepts/observation_model`
    - {doc}`../concepts/data_model`
    - {doc}`../concepts/location_model`
    - {doc}`../concepts/transfer_model`

## Database Tables

The following models are defined in the ops-db package. Each entry provides a brief
description and links to the full API documentation.

```{eval-rst}
.. data-model-glossary::
   :module: ccat_ops_db.models
   :sort: alphabetical
```

For complete technical details including all attributes, relationships, and methods, see
the {doc}`../api_reference/models` documentation.
