Dropdown list storage in the db and id descriptions problem

Hi!
I have 2 dropdown list
Continent
1 [AFRICA]
2 [AMERICA]
3 [EUROPE]

Countries
for instance:
3_1 [ITALY]
3_2 [FRANCE]

I am dealing with some query in the Suite database and I could select from tab opportunities_cstm the field [continent] and [countries]
but the Select gives me the “id” values so : 3_1 or 1 or 3_2 and not ITALY, AMERICA …and so on

Where are stored the description? or How can I get them?
Thanks a lot for your help
In case of negative answer …I will have to create in database my own a tab with ID and Description …

You will also find the place where the values are stored.
In fact they are not in the database but they are saved as a php file contaning one array with all the custom dropdowns.

I had to create 3 modules for that …country, city and continent …because the datas are not stored in database :frowning:
