Water Quality Data Qualifier Enhancement |
Beginning April 1, 2008 all data qualifiers are stored in the remark code field in the DBHYDRO database, not just the one qualifier deemed to be the
most relevant or severe. This rule applies not only to newly added data but also to data corrected after April 1, 2008. By retaining all qualifiers we ensure that:
1) the NELAC compliant processes that the lab follows are reflected in DBHYDRO and
2) data assessments, for any purpose, are better facilitated.
In addition, a legacy practice of copying the remark code, if "fatal", into the flag field has been replaced by simply placing a "yes" in the
flag field. End-user queries are unaffected because the queries only differentiate between flags which are null or not null. All qualifier and comment information pertaining to data validation and assessment is in the remark code and comments fields. Users may continue to filter their record sets by retrieving data where "flag is null" and will receive the same records from the database as they would have before the change.

Batch mode option for Large data requests |
DBHYDRO Browser is a web interface and works great in online mode for small and medium sized data requests (less than 10000 rows). When the user requests large data sets then online mode may not be efficient due to internet speeds and your session may just hang. To overcome this problem, DBHYDRO Browser allows the user to submit a large data request in batch mode. These requests are processed immediately on receipt and the user is notified by email once it is completed. The notification email to the user contains a URL that will allow user to download data file. The file is zipped on the server to minimize the download time. During normal operation your request should take less than 30 minutes to process. However in some cases it may take several hours to process your request. |
