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.

Metadata is provided for HIRLAM fields * **Decode and store oceanographic fields** * WDB has loading programs to load wave and circulation models stored in GRIB1 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 ===== WDB Roadmap ===== * 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 ~~NOTOC~~ wdb/start.1199800748.txt.gz Last modified: 2022-05-31 09:23:29(external edit)
