The VISTA Science Archive databases contain calibrated data from the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) pre-planned public survey operations through the VISTA Data Flow System (VDFS) project. The VISTA Public Survey programmes are:

• VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS)
• VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV)
• VISTA Magellanic Clouds survey (VMC)
• VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy survey (VIKING)
• VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO)

The data are organised in schemas, which include tables, views, indexes and constraints.
