Tabular data Can be added to your map document ESRI geodatabases SQL (structured query language) database

queries dBase format tables INFO tables Comma or tab delimited ASCII (text) files

comma separated values (csv files) tab-separated values or defined width (txt files)

OLEDB (object linking and embedding database) tables
