Introduction
The Data Bank Database (DB)2 is designed to hold New Mexico economic and demographic data and support the
mission of the Data Bank and the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of New Mexico. The
driving need is to improve data services for researchers, students, economic developers, public policy makers and
New Mexicans. The database will need to accommodate changes needed by the various patrons. This documentation
is an important part of outlining the development, collection and dissemination of Data Bank data through the Data
Bank Database. Going forward, it is anticipated that the structure and processes will need to be continually updated
to incorporate new data and adapt to new technologies in order to accommodate a growing need for better
socioeconomic data dissemination.
Organization
This document is loosely based on the Workforce Information Database (WID) published by the Analyst Resource
Center (http://www.workforceinfodb.org/). Many of the economic and labor market information tables are
directly adopted from that standard for this database. Building off the WID allows the Data Bank to leverage national
standards for our local data needs. It also allows us to work closely with the state labor market information shop.
There will however be some data tables which will strictly be (DB)2 tables and not part of the WID.
Another difference from the WID documentation is that this documentation will include not only the table structures
but also data sources, meta data, release schedules, collection and conversion steps. The intention is to have a
working manual of operation as well as a data dictionary. This working manual idea should assist in quicker
development and provide training materials for staff.
Table Layouts
The table layouts for the Data Bank Database are presented in this document. They are organized into four types:
lookup tables, crosswalks, data tables, and administrative tables. The code lookup tables contain relatively constant
data that pertains mainly to descriptive data associated with classification codes. Lookup tables can also contain field
values that are to be used in populating the database. Field values are also listed in the Field value section of this
manual. The crosswalk tables are a subset of the lookup tables representing the relationships between various
classification codes. The data tables contain information about economic indicators, population demographics,
selected socioeconomic characteristics, and other data. These tables are intended to contain information that is
maintained on a regular basis by Data Bank personnel. The data tables section includes maintenance information as
well as the table layouts. The administrative tables are tables used to record database management activities as well as
tables that would be needed to provide application support.
How to Read a Table Definition

Each table definition contains complete information about the structure of a table. Each definition includes: the name
of the table, a complete list of each column name and data type, complete constraint information, and short
descriptions of the columns. The following illustration identifies each component of a table definition.
Name of
Table.
List of
column
names.
areatype
Column
Stfips
areatype
A table containing identifiers for the geographic type, i.e., MSA, SDA, county,
city, township, etc.
Type
Constraint
Description
char(2)
Primary Key
State FIPS code
1
char(2)
Primary Key
The code for the geographical area the data
represent.
Areatyname
varchar(40)
Descriptive title of the areatype
Constraints Information
1 Foreign Key (areatype.stfips) references (stfipstb.stfips)
Data type of
column.
Constraint: Specifies whether this column is part of the

Primary Key or participates in one or more Foreign Keys.
Numbers in this column refer to Foreign Keys listed in
the Constraints Information section. This section
details information on each Foreign Key used in the table.
Each note indicates which table and columns are being
referenced. Also the Constraint Information will note any
triggers for the table.
Short description of
the data intended for
this column.
Table Constraints
The Constraint section of each table definition identifies all Primary Keys and Foreign Keys for the table. The
constraints for a table specify rules for data that will be stored in that table. These rules exist in the form of either
Primary Keys or Foreign Keys. The definitions of these terms appear below:
Primary Key: The Primary Key is a column or group of columns that shall always be (1) non-null and (2) unique.
Only one primary key exists for each table. A Primary Key constraint is enforced on a table so that each row in the
table can be uniquely identified.
Foreign Key: A Foreign Key is a column or group of columns where each value or group of values exists as a
Primary Key in another table. Foreign Key constraints are used so that data for a column or group of columns can be
validated against another table containing a list of valid values for that column or group of columns.
Throughout the table definitions, Primary Keys and Foreign Keys are used wherever possible to achieve the greatest
level of data quality. For example, in the table qcew, there is a column called ownership. By specifying a Foreign Key
constraint on the ownership column referencing the table ownershp, no row in the qcew table will ever contain a value
for ownership that does not already exist in the table ownershp. This protects the qcew table from ever containing invalid
ownership values.
Table constraints information box can also contain trigger information. A trigger is a special kind of stored procedure
that goes into effect when you modify data in a specified table using one of the data modification operations
UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE. Triggers are used to maintain the referential integrity of multi-code tables with any
changes that are made to the lookup tables.
Computer Environment
The expectation is that the (DB)2 will exist on the University of New Mexico Information Technology structure. MS
Access 2010 is what is available on local PC and where development is taking place. Drive M will also use MS Access
2010 for the test database. It is anticipated that a production database in a webserver environment could use MS SQL
or PHP. Migration to these other production platforms my pose some issues to be overcome. The migration of data
from the PC- based database to an unknown production database will need to be mapped and documented in the
future.
Lookup Tables
Description
Tables in this section are standardized codes used by the data tables. Generally these tables have few changes and are
fairly static. Most tables are available from the National Crosswalk Service Center (http://www.xwalkcenter.org/)
which documents revisions. In a few cases such as benchmark or period table data is added as need each year.

QCEW
Data Description: Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). The QCEW program publishes a
quarterly count of employment and wages reported by employers that are covered by unemployment insurance laws.
Data includes monthly employment, quarterly average employment, average weekly wage, total wages paid by
county, by industry.
Data Source: New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. Alternative source would be the Bureau of Labor
series ID.
Geography Available: Statewide, Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Workforce Development Areas and County.
Release Schedule: The file is sent quarterly according to the release schedule posted on the data source website at
https://www.jobs.state.nm.us/gsipub/index.asp?docid=435 .
Data Processes: Data is received from Michelle Doran of New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions,
Economic Research and Analysis Bureau. Generally two files are on a CD every quarter. One file is the prior quarter
revised and the other is the preliminary release for the most current quarter. The data is already in the database
format and just needs to be imported into the container and verified.
Actual Steps:
1) Receive CD.
2) There are two files on the CD. Generally named in the format industry-bberYYQ.txt. Where YY is year and
Q the quarter. One file is revised last quarter. The other file is the preliminary numbers for the most current
quarter.
3) Save files from CD to a drive on the computer.
4) Open in text editor and verify that the right number of fields exist and that the QTR data is in 01,
02,03 and 04 and not single digit.
5) Open Access database.
6) Open Module Industry Update Last Qtr and change file name to the revised file and then run.
7) Verify all records worked.
19
8) Open Module Industry Add current qtr and change file name to the current quarter and then run.
9) Verify all records worked.

Crosswalk Tables
Description
The following tables in this section represent the relationships between various classification codes. Technically these
tables are a sub-set of lookup tables and should never have any invalid code as they represent the crosswalk from one
code to another.
Documentation
Most crosswalk tables will be available from National Crosswalk Service Center (http://www.xwalkcenter.org/) or
the classification code work group.

Field Values
Description
Field values denote what codes are defined for certain fields. Often times these are in a lookup table such as periodty.
However, it is useful to have a resource in one place to look up standard values. Many of these values are taken from
the WID. Some of these values are strictly Data Bank Database specific and therefore are documented here to make
sure that new tables added with similar fields can be consistent throughout the database container.
Documentation
Notes at the bottom of the Value column will often say State Defined this is a carryover from the WID
documentation and denotes where the (DB)2 has room to define specific values that are in addition to the WID values.
