Hello Andrew, A very useful article. I have a query for you. What all tables are used to store Bill Of Material in Inventor Vault? I am looking for BOM details like child item id, quantity, find number etc. Could you please help?

Hi there, I found that the BOM data is stored in the FileIteration table in the BOMBlob field. It's encoded as XML so you'll need a way to expand and link that data.

This is an example of the Components section of the XML from an assembly:

<Component CompId="2" UniqueId="{C0FA933E-4FCF-CB1A-5853-AFB820695693}" XRefId="868932" XRefType="external"/>

This translates to: -BOM item #2 (CompId) -ChildID (FileIteration.FileIterationId from DB) of 868932

Thanks a lot [Andrew B](https://hashnode.com/@abowden). This helps. I will give it a try now.
