Databases¶
SokweDB utilizes at least 3 databases, each for a different purpose. There may also be other databases available.[1]
sokwedb¶
The sokwedb
database contains the final, “official”, data. All
research takes place in this database.
sokwedb_test¶
The sokwedb_test
database is used, by everyone, for testing.
Typically, this database contains a copy of the sokwedb
data. It
may be desirable to upload new data into the sokwedb_test
database before uploading into the sokwedb
database. This allows
the data to be cleaned and examinations made before upload into
production.
sokwedb_dev¶
The sokwedb_dev
database is for software and database development.
It is primarily used by the system’s developers to try new features.
After coordinating with the developers, it could used by anyone to
test something that seems particularly dangerous and might interfere
with normal operations if tested in the sokwedb_test
database.
