We have calculated partial final-state resolved radiative recombination (RR)rate coefficients from the initial ground and metastable levels of all elementsup to and including Zn, plus Kr, Mo, and Xe, for all isoelectronic sequences upto Na-like forming Mg-like. The data are archived according to the Atomic Dataand Analysis Structure (ADAS) data class adf48, which spans a temperature rangeof z^2(10^1 - 10^7)K, where z is the initial ion charge. Fits to total ratecoefficients have been determined, for both the ground and metastable levels,and those for the ground are presented here. Comparison is made both withprevious RR rate coefficients and with (background) R-matrix photoionizationcross sections. This RR database complements a DR database already produced andboth are being used to produce updated ionization balances for both (electron)collisionally ionized and photoionized plasmas.Comment: Submitted to ApJS. 15 pages, inc. 12 figures and 1 tabl
