Interfaces Database

To us, a component architecture defines the schemes of how components can be plugged together and interact. This definition may vary from one project or component library to another and includes schemes such as CORBA, DCOM, JavaBeans, database interface protocols such as ODBC, and lower-level protocols such as TCP/IP as well as simpler sets of conventions and rules created for specific projects. 

Model control this main script controls the database interface, pre- and postprocessing calculations and steers the optimization model. Model results specifically feasibility, relaxation and infeasibility are handled here. 

Database interface three scripts form the database interface. Two of them include reading and writing procedures between optimization system and database. Data structures used by the optimization system and by the database are defined within a third script. 

The client workstation can be established on Windows 2000 system and configured to enable for VPN connection to the remote network. Windows 2003 Server can be used as Network Access Server (NAS) for this purpose. The Radius biometric server can be installed on the same machine as NAS. The server may use MS SQL 2000 database for biometric templates storage. MS SQL database makes it easy to import biometric data from BioBase. MS SQL database interface must then be applied to Radius server. The enrolment station can be established on a remote Windows 2000 system. The next subsections depict the scenario elements. 

Module 4 (Classification) to aid every employee in understanding and applying the RAP classification scheme, a simple form of decision support has been developed and fully integrated within the database interface. It consists of a series of yes/no questions which follow exactly the decision tree (adjusted to the RAP model) of figure 5.2. Each question is illustrated by two examples one based on a true incident (or an element thereof) from the RAP safety files, which should be very recognisable and valid for every operator the other based on an aspect from a task environment familiar to both RAP operators and almost everyone else car driving. 

The roadblocks to the future are more technical or have to do with options for access, rather than deriving from a basic lack of information. However, this seems to change as one gets away from the standard chemistry areas and into the interface of biology and chemistry. There the perceived roadblocks are the inadequacies of the database interfaces until the information becomes more easily shared, major barriers will continue to exist. Commercial database creators want to protect their investments, so they restrict the number of records that can be downloaded, making it difficult to manipulate and mine hundreds of thousands of hits at once. 

Y. Ralchenko and D. Humbert have developed prototype search engine to carry out the search of a number of remote databases. With this search engine, a user enters a request once only. The request is reformulated by the search engine for each of a number of different database interfaces at different institutions. The requests are sent to databases selected by the user. The search engine gathers the responses from each database and displays the results to the user. Information on each database is available as are links to the databases. 

We also think that a logical next step for ASAP is to expand the knowledge base to deal with trends in the mass of data which is continuously being gathered at the Central Wastewater Plant. As KnowledgePro has database interface facilities, we feel that this capability could be implemented very easily. 

Figure 19.8. With the ARCoDat module, the users can build themselves synthesis-specific data sets for end-stage compounds. Database interfaces permit substance data to be imported for stoichiometric calculations and plausibility/control. Search functions allow building block ensembles to be imported from, e.g., in-house central databases such as Oracle and MS-Access or files like SD-Files or Excel spreadsheets.

Sometimes these general-purpose applications are not sufficiently specific to the needs of database users. In that case, custom applications can be written. Many programming languages have extensions that allow data to be selected from the database and read into data structures for further operations. This chapter considers ways of using ODBC (Open Database Correctivity), JDBC for Java, Perl DBI (Database Interface), pg and pgdb for Python, and PDO for PHP...

Database Interfaces. A company that uses a general DBMS for its biological information and a MACCS database for its chemical information might create a biological search menu and a biological-chemical viewing menu for use in conjunction with the chemical search menu. Then the biological database could be searched and the results viewed...
