Schema for COINS database
Dear Her Majesty's Treasury,
I would like to request the schema for the Combined Online Information System (COINS) database as it currently exists.
I would like this schema to be in an Excel spreadsheet.
Yours faithfully,
Lisa Evans

They did not have the schema as the COINS database is not relational -- it is a multidimensional database. They did give the field names in xml though.
