    We're trying to automate the documentation of Smart Notes Data Sources.
    (I've found the Reporting Services, Override DSN, and Landmark Data Sources)

    I've partially found the SN's entries-
    SELECT *
    FROM [LawsonSN].[dbo].[ENPTREEATTRS]
    WHERE ENTRYPARENT = 601
    gives me their names and desciptoins... but no other information.. Unless it's encoded in the ATTRBINARYVALUE field...

    Can anyone help me out?

      I got an answer on the Infor Communities page so thought I'd share here...

      you might be better off selecting by EntryCategory = 5 (which is "Data Sources", according to the ENPCategories table). And yes, the actual data source definition is stored in the ATTRBINARYVALUE, which you can access by a bit of casting:
      SELECT cast(substring(attrbinaryvalue,1, 500) as varchar(500)) from ENPTREEATTRS
      WHERE entrycategory = 5

        Here's the query that @Elliott came up with to help me out:

        with CS (ConnectionString) as
        (
        select cast(cast(substring(attrbinaryvalue,1,550) as varchar(550)) as xml) as ConnectionString
        from LawsonSN.dbo.ENPTREEATTRS
        where attrcategory = 5
        )
        select
        --CS.ConnectionString
        CS.ConnectionString.value('(/data_connection/name)[1]','varchar(50)') as DBName
        ,CS.ConnectionString.value('(/data_connection/jdbc_url)[1]','varchar(150)') as JDBCURL
        ,CS.ConnectionString.value('(/data_connection/jdbc_database)[1]','varchar(50)') as JDBCDatabase
        ,CS.ConnectionString.value('(/data_connection/jdbc_user)[1]','varchar(50)') as JDBCUser
        from CS
