I remember Football Manager / Championship Manager days when they produced the database structure so that editors / other software could be written to tap into the massive data sources used.

Don't know if the same is true of the latest version of FM, a google search lists FM2005 database structure/header files on the si website.

It's like the three unknown strategy options in the situational strategy of teams.dat or the section of 8 lineups that appears after the 4 depth charts (I thought it might have been seven day lineups but I can't put it together like that).

Roster sizes are limited to 50, but each of the 'active', 'secondary', 'disabled' and 'all' has space for 200.

Depth charts have 13 sets of data for each of vRHPwoDH, vLHPwoDH, vRHPwDH, vLHPwDH (nine for catcher, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF, DH and then four other records that are 'blank'.

I haven't tried this out but has anyone got more than 11 affiliates to one major league team (it could well be 10)

I think I need to move away from working with databases as part of my actual work (you start to get good at seeing how they're put together) - though it's a very well designed database structure I have to say.
