SVT Data Base

What's new:

  • Calibration and Conditions Data Base(12/09/99)
  • Geometry Data Base(03/13/00)

  • Introduction:

    The STAR Data Base web page is the best place to look for general information regarding the Data Base.
    This page concerns only aspects particular to the SVT sub-system.
    There are, basically, two aspects of the data base that concerns the SVT group: There are several types of data bases within STAR. The ones that are SVT specific are the following: It is VERY IMPORTANT that EVERYBODY makes sure that all the relevant data is included in the data base. Also, anyone trying to write software that needs to access the data base, should be aware of the data base interface for the SVT.


    Schema Definition:

    The data objects stored in DB are pre-defined by c-structs in header files.
    These header files contain the information to be stored in the DB.
    They can be organized in a directory structure, to facilitate the data access.
    Bellow are listed the proposed header files organized in a particular directory structure for each DB type. Take a look and make sure all the relevant information is contained there.

    Configuration Data Base:

    Conditions Data Base:

    Directory Structure:

    /Sector_01
    /Sector_02
