6D&B Reference Tables

Several D&B attributes have an alphanumeric code value. Oracle renders the corresponding descriptions of these codes in our interface. However, the descriptions associated with these codes are not written to output files: only the code values are in export files.

For example, Location Type may appear with a value of Single Location, Headquarters, or Branch, but in export files, these Location Type values appear as 0, 1, or 2. Other examples of D&B attributes with code values include currency, city/state/county/country, title, minority classification, SIC, and NAICS.

There are two files from D&B that list all attributes with code values:

• Attributes and Code Tables: This file shows values for attributes that are listed directly.

• Referenced Code Tables: This file shows the lookup values for referenced attributes.
