DB/GameTables

They list different tables. The real content is in files called gtName.dbc. Not many of them exist in the archives. Far less than in here.

The OCT that appears in several table names is a reference to October 2004, as during development leading up to the launch of WoW, new GameTables were created with each month's name as the schema and contents changed. The October versions were the final development version before launch, and the names stuck.ᵛ

As of 3.0.9 the clientside list is:

• gtBarberShopCostBase
• gtCombatRatings
• gtChanceToMeleeCrit
• gtChanceToMeleeCritBase
• gtChanceToSpellCrit
• gtChanceToSpellCritBase
• gtNPCManaCostScaler
• gtOCTRegenHP
• gtOCTRegenMP
• gtRegenHPPerSpt
• gtRegenMPPerSpt

Structure

Column	Field 		Type 		Notes 
1 	Name 		String 		how the DBC is called.
2 	numRows 	Integer 	
3 	numColumns 	Integer         I believe this defines the numbers of entries in the table, not columns. 
                                       1 entry has #numRows rows.
