Abstract

To respond to SSC (Superconducting Supercollider) data processing needs, a number of techniques, utilities, and libraries are being developed. They will allow efficient and well-managed transfer of data between the database and scientific data-collection, display, and analysis programs. They use a commercial relational database management system, Sybase, running on a Sun 2-280 dataserver, and a data discipline, SDS (self describing standard), which attaches format and context information to datasets wherever they are. Two applications are considered: management of, and access to, raw and analyzed test data from the magnet R&D laboratories and management and integrity control of the lattice design databases
