In Configuration Manager 2007, a number of schema information views are created to get information about the names of all the available views and the schema for the inventory and discovery classes. These are particularly useful for determining the names for custom inventory resource type (architecture) tables. The following table shows a list of these schema information views.

View	Description
v_SchemaViews	Lists all the views in the view schema family.
v_ResourceMap	Lists the resource type views.
v_ResourceAttributeMap	Lists attributes for each resource type.
v_GroupMap	Lists inventory groups for each inventory architecture.
v_GroupAttributeMap	Lists attributes for each inventory group.
v_ReportViewSchema	Parallel to the SMS_ReportViewSchema class, this view lists all the classes and properties.

For more information about how the SQL views map to their WMI class equivalents, see Configuration Manager Schema View Mapping
