| Short Description |
The Ambient Monitoring Section′s (AMS) Database Management System (DBMS) is a collection of data tables and programs which together form an "application" allowing menu-driven access to those data tables. The system was designed primarily to serve as a repository for the River and Stream and Marine Water Column Programs′ ambient monitoring data. In addition to storing field and laboratory data, the system provides an evaluation of data quality, produces several reports, and provides for data retrievals in a number of formats. Most functions are menu-driven and available directly from the application. Some annual maintenance functions require loading and working within dBase®. (Also see abstract below) | |

The Ambient Monitoring Section′s (AMS) Database Management System (DBMS) is a collection of data tables and programs which together form an "application" allowing menu-driven access to those data tables. The system was designed primarily to serve as a repository for the River and Stream and Marine Water Column Programs′ ambient monitoring data. In addition to storing field and laboratory data, the system provides an evaluation of data quality, produces several reports, and provides for data retrievals in a number of formats. Most functions are menu-driven and available directly from the application. Some annual maintenance functions require loading and working within dBase®. The DBMS was originally developed in dBase III+® in 1990 under contract with the Department of Information Services and Terry Syverson of SYX_SYSTEMS â. The programs were subsequently modified to take advantage of improvements offered by dBASE IV version 1.1®. Numerous other modifications have been made in-house. The monitoring data are available for retrieval to anyone with access to EILS′ local area network. |
