I would like to update the information using the downloaded where I can download the information, maybe once a month to ensure that all the sector and industry names are current.

Is there any feature to do this.. i.e. can the stock symbols be accessed as another db?

Information such as sector and industry can be updated from scripts.
If you have access to sector and industry data for stocks, then you can create a script in the downloader tool to automatically update sector and industry data once a month for example

Do you have this data and which market are you interested in?
