Data Fields & Domain Information

Gas_Main

Column Name Alias Data Type Comments Domain Name Default value Domain Values
OBJECTID OBJECTID NUMBER ESRI system maintained integer field used to uniquely identify rows in tables in a geodatabase. Note that OBJECTIID values change upon export or import of the data and should not be used as a primary field for searching or identifying records.
GASMAINID Gasmainid NUMBER Database maintained field that permanently assigns a unique value for each record. This ID value should be the one referred to when identifying a record.
CREATE_BY Create By VARCHAR2 Database maintained field. Updates to the user name that created the feature. Update takes place when the feature is created.
CREATE_DATE Create Date DATE Database maintained field. Updates to the current data/time. Update takes place when the feature is created.
UPDATE_BY Update By VARCHAR2 Database maintained field. Updates to the user name that most recently updated either an attribute or the geometry of the feature. Update takes place when the feature is created and/or changed.
UPDATE_DATE Update Date DATE Database maintained field. Updates to the current data/time when an attribute or the geometry of the feature is changed. Update takes place when the feature is created and/or changed.
STATUS Status VARCHAR2 Indicates the status of feature. A pick list is used for this field - contact GIS for pick list values. GasStatus ACTIVE ACTIVE; DEACTIVATED; PLANNED; UNKNOWN
STATUS_DATE Status Date DATE Database maintained field. Updates to the current date/time when the STATUS field value is changed.
SOURCE Source NUMBER GIS maintained field. Source EDRA (Electronic Document Registration Application) document number, or name of department or specific staff member that the information came from.
SOURCE_DATE Source Date DATE GIS maintained field. Date of the source document or information.
PARENTID Parentid NUMBER Input by GIS staff. Used when an an existing gas main is split for any number of reasons. Usually this occurs when another, typically new, pipe tees into it. The existing record is split into 2 or more individual records. The longest single existing record retains its GASMAINID value and no value is entered into PARENTID, however for each of the remaining shorter existing records the original GASMAINID value is copied into the PARENTID field, their GASMAINID values are deleted and the database generates new GASMAINIDs for the 2 or more new shorter records. This is done so that information, such as work orders, could be linked back to the records that have new GASMAINID values.
ROADSEGMENTID Roadsegmentid NUMBER Input by GIS staff. ROADSEGMENTID of the GIS_DATA.ROADSEGMENT layer feature that the majority of the gas main follows . A value of -1 indicates that the feature does not follow a road. Roadsegments must have a CATEGORY value of 'HIGHWAY' , 'RAMP' , 'ROAD' , or 'ROUNDABOUT' and a STATUS value of 'ACTIVE' , 'PLANNED', or 'REGISTERED'.
MAP_LABEL Map Label VARCHAR2 Database maintained field. Combines the GIS length, and the DIAMETER and MATERIAL field values.
TAG1 Tag1 VARCHAR2 Temporary location to store short term data for mapping purposes only.
SHAPE SHAPE ST_GEOMETRY ESRI system maintained field. Stores the geometry type and geometry of the feature.
MATERIAL Material VARCHAR2 Provided through as-built plan or digital submission. Material of the gas main. The default value is 'TO INPUT'. Valid values are 'PLASTIC', 'STEEL'. The value 'UNKNOWN' indicates that the material was not given or is unknown. GasPipeMaterial PLASTIC PLASTIC; STEEL; UNKNOWN
SUB_MATERIAL Sub Material VARCHAR2 Provided through as-built plan or digital submission. Submaterial of the gas main. The default value is 'TO INPUT'. Valid values are 'ALDYL A', 'ALDYL HD', 'BARE PIPE', 'EPOXY', 'PE 100', 'RELINE', 'TAR COAT', TR418', 'YELLOW JACKET'. The value 'UNKNOWN' indicates that the submaterial was not given or is unknown. GasPipeSubmaterial 3M SK 6233 3M SK 6352; ALDYL A; EPOXY; PE 100; PE2406/2708; TAR COAT; TR418; UNI-MODAL PE2708; UNKNOWN; YELLOW JACKET ...See GIS for a complete list...
INSTALLATION_DATE Installation Date DATE Date the feature was installed
HIGH_PRESSURE High Pressure VARCHAR2 Provided through as-built plan or digital submission. Indicates if the gas main is a high pressure transmission main. A distribution pressure main is given the value 'N'. Values are codes. The following uses the key 'CODE' ('DESCRIPTION'). The default value is 'X' ('X - TO INPUT'). Valid values are 'N' ('N - NO'), 'Y' ('Y - YES'). The value 'U' ('U - UNKNOWN') indicates that the type of pressure was not given or is unknown. YesNo N N - NO; U - UNKNOWN; Y - YES
TRACER_WIRE_COLOUR Tracer Wire Colour VARCHAR2 Provided through as-built plan or digital submission. Tracer wire colour of the gas main. The default value is 'TO INPUT'. Valid values are 'BLUE', 'WHITE', 'YELLOW'. The value 'UNKNOWN' indicates that the tracer wire colour was not given or known. GasTracerWireColour BLACK; BLUE; RED; UNKNOWN; WHITE; YELLOW
EASEMENT Easement VARCHAR2 Provided through as-built plan or digital submission. Indicates if the gas main is within an easement and if so the type of easement the main is within. The default value is 'TO INPUT'. Valid values are 'HYDRO RIGHT OF WAY', 'NO EASEMENT', 'PRIVATE PROPERTY', 'RAILWAY'. The value 'UNKNOWN' indicates that the easement was not given or is unknown. GasMainEasement NO EASEMENT HYDRO RIGHT OF WAY; NO EASEMENT; PRIVATE PROPERTY; RAILWAY
KU_NOTES Ku Notes VARCHAR2 Input by Utility staff. Open text field for notes.
BRIDGE_MAIN Bridge Main VARCHAR2 Provided through as-built plan or digital submission. Indicates if the gas main uses a bridge to pass over other features. YesNo N N - NO; U - UNKNOWN; Y - YES
BRIDGE_DETAILS Bridge Details VARCHAR2 Provided by Gas Utilities staff. Additional details concerning gas mains that use a bridge to pass over other features.
SDR Sdr VARCHAR2 Provided by Gas Utilities staff. SDR stands for standard dimension ratio and is a measurement and method often used by pipe manufacturers to rate the working pressure capacity of a pipe. GasSDR 10; 11; 13.5; N/A; UNKNOWN
DIAMETER Diameter NUMBER Provided through as-built plan or digital submission. The diameter in milimetres of the gas main. GasMainSize 0 0; 100; 150; 200; 250; 300; 38; 400; 50; 75 ...See GIS for a complete list...
