STORET logo STORET Database Views

STORET User Assistance is pleased to release scripts for the creation of STORET Database "views" representing key objects associated with the business of water quality monitoring.

A database view is a preformatted SQL instruction which defines a concept by relating it to many fields in the database, drawn from many different database tables. Views created by these scripts define Stations, Station Visits, Monitoring Activities, and Results. Within these views, internal codes and references are translated into their plain English values, and concepts like latitude and longitude are converted to proper forms which may be easily interpreted by your analytical software.

Through the capabilities of Open Data Base Connectivity (ODBC) these views make your STORET data appear as formatted tables or worksheets in ODBC compliant spread-sheets, databases, or analytical software.
Examples include MS Access®, MS Excel®, Lotus 123®, ESRI ArcView®, and SAS®.
