All System Center Data is in SQL Databases, stored in table after table row after row.Different products have different schemas and how that data can be accessed.
We can se those that have Configuration DB and what we call data warehouse.
Where data is stored for historical availability and to offload the Configuration DB.
Primary keys and secondary keys
Things can get complex.But in order to get overview of the schemas and design of the tables, you just google for it, or bing. For those of you that are in to that.. There is massive of information about the schemas out there.
