The CategoryDisplayAttributes table contains the display attributes for a particular category. It lists all attributes that have been identified for a given product. These attributes are used to house product specifications about the different products in a category. There are also different product attribute display templates that are common for all products of the same category.

The available types are type 1 (detailed) and type 0 (basic), the detailed set of attributes consists of all the attributes and is a super set of the basic template. The same can be identified from the productattribute table with attributes starting with 32(detailed) and basic(basic), you would also find attributes starting with 33 which are searchable attributes and are meant for parametric drilldowns, not for display.

Spex Plus and Spex Live both contain the same product data powered by Etilize's product database. The difference is in delivery method.

Spex Live is an on-demand distribution service for ecommerce-ready product data delivered via SOAP/REST webservices.

Spex Plus is the download version that allows the content to be downloaded and imported into a local database.

Both Spex Plus and Spex Live connect you to our database of images, specifications, and digital assets for over a million products, including IT, Consumer Electronics, AIDC and Office Products.

Previously Etilize only provided content via the download model (Spex Plus).
