-====== WDB ======
-WDB is a database system designed to store MHO (Meteorological, Hydrological and Oceanographic) data in a PostgreSQL database management server. The purpose of the WDB system is to improve the quality and effectiveness of IT systems for MHO production by providing a complete, flexible, and effective data storage solution for real-time and archive data.
-WDB is an [[http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php|open-source project]] licensed under [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html|GPL2]].
-===== Latest Release =====
-WDB 0.6rc1 is currently available ([[http://wdb.met.no/download/wdb-0.6rc1.tar.gz|download]]). Note that the WDB system is still under development; we do not recommend the use of 0.6rc1 for production.
-===== WDB Features =====
-  * **Decode and store meteorological forecast fields**
-    * WDB has loading programs to load forecasts, analysis, etc. stored in GRIB-fm5 format. Metadata is provided for HIRLAM fields
-  * **Decode and store oceanographic fields**
-    * WDB has loading programs to load wave and circulation models stored in GRIB-fm5 files. Metadata is provided for WAM fields
-  * **Flexible retrieval interface**
-    * The WDB Call Interface (WCI) allows the extraction of entire fields or points (time-series) from the database using an SQL-based function interface.
-    * WCI is compatible with C++
-    * The interface should be usable in C, Java, Perl, Python, and Fortran as well, but these interfaces are yet to be tested
-=====  Future WDB Features =====
-  * Putting WDB into production in the Hindcast project (multi-terabyte forecast field archive)
-  * Creating a load-balancing and fail-over solution for the WDB system
-  * Improving the test framework and documentation
-  * Improving the performance of the overall system
