7 Introduction to the databases
The following is a short explanation of the databases used by ShipWeight
(SQL-version). The purpose is to show where to find information on weight
and main parameters of a ShipWeight project. A basic knowledge of the
databases is necessary e.g. for using Crystal Reports to create custom
ShipWeight reports.
7.1 Overview of the databases
Basically, ShipWeight needs three SQL-databases to run:
SW00_ProjectName: For storage of project specific information, e.g. weight,
CoG and defined parameters.
The name of the database is made up of a prefix and the Project name.
The prefix is used to determine which Work Breakdown Structure the project
belongs to.
Prefix Work Breakdown Structure
SW00_ ShipWeight
SW01_ RigWeight
SW02_ PBSWeight
SW03_ MaradWeight
SW04_ SWBSWeight
SW05_ IMPWeight
SW06_ ESWBS_Carrier
SW07_ BSCI_Carrier
SW08_ ESWBS_Submarine
SW09_ ESWBS_Submarine_2
SW10_ BSCI_Submarine
WDB_WeightDB: Contains general information used by all projects, e.g.
information of the work breakdown structure, estimation methods, definition of
parameters.
The database containing the standard ShipWeight work breakdown structure
is named wdb_WeightDB. Following is a list of the database names of the
available Work Breakdown Structures:
