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 ===== Resources ===== [[https://svn.met.no/viewvc/wdbSystem/wdb/|WDB Subversion Repository]] [[https://wdb.bugs.met.no/|WDB Bugzilla]] [[http://wdb.met.no/0.6/doxygen/html/|Code Documentation (WDB 0.6rc1)]] [[http://wdb.met.no/0.6/developer/html/wdb_developer-manual.html|Developer Documentation (WDB 0.6rc1)]] [[http://wdb.met.no/0.6/user/html/wci_user-manual.html|User Documentation (WDB 0.6rc1)]] ~~NOTOC~~ wdb/start.1199701073.txt.gz Last modified: 2022-05-31 09:23:29(external edit)
