They are tables that you can find inside your database. Get a copy of the
IB6 beta Language Reference guide on ww.ibphoenix.com or
www.firebirdsql.org. You'll find the reference to their structures in
Chapter 7: System Tables and Views.

One word of warning, be very careful if you intend to modify data in these
tables, since they are the definition of your database. Do the wrong thing
and you might get a corrupt database.

Have a nice day.
