The geography_names table

This table provides names for each of the geography polygons. The names are optional - if a name does not exist for a combination of geography_type_id and geography_id, the indicator visualization programs uses the geography_type_title and the geography_id number, e.g., ``district 5''. In particular, you almost certainly don't want names for the ``grid'' geography, since that would require naming each grid cell.

Column Name	Data Type	Description
geography_type_id	integer	The geography
geography_id	integer	A unique identifier for a particular polygon of the geography with this geography_type_id
name	varchar	The name of this polygon, e.g., ``Seattle'' or ``PSRC'' or ``downtown''

This table is copied from the appropriate baseyear or scenario database into the output database, so that it is easily accessible when writing SQL indicator computations.
