To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:
Documents sufficient to show the table structure of the CLEAR database. This database should be in the format of a Relational Database like SQL. Please be aware that these documents are already stored electronically, therefore I request these documents be sent to us in a machine readable format (.xls or .csv will suffice).
In order to retrieve this you will have to request a database administrator who is familiar with SQL queries. Please be aware that I am looking for the names of the tables and the rows within that table. I do not seek any of the records in the rows.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
J Ader

To whom it may concern,
I would like to appeal this denial.
Chicago's DoIT is an example of a nearby agency that has released a mysql dump of the data dictionary to FOI through FOIA - https://www.muckrock.com/foi/chicago-169/data-dictionary-mysql-dump-59229. By DoIT providing this information, it highlights that database schemas are specifically releasable through FOIA. FOI has since used the dump to create its own instance of the datab dictionary, which I highly recommend your department review for understanding what sort of database schema information has passed infosec review: https://metalicious.freeourinfo.com.
If there is an actual need for some private information to be redacted, I am ultimately willing to have responsive documents with redactions here as well.
Thanks, and let me know if anything else is needed from my end.
