University of Michigan Muon DatabaseShawn McKeeJuly 21, 1999 • Motivation to work on core database issues • Database types we are exploring • Database models we are considering
UM’s Motivation • We have a strong group of interested physicists • Homer Neal and Chun Hui • Steven Goldfarb (ATLAS Muon database coor.) • Daniel Levin and Shawn McKee • Myron Campbell and Jay Chapman • Databases are at the “core” of what we do • Database work provides understanding of domains and their interfaces (cohesion with other groups) • Crucial to any software effort
Database Types • Production database • Local (Use at Michigan) • Global (Collaboration wide) • Geometry database (Defines MDT subsys.) • Trigger database (ATLAS-wide eventually) • Calibration database (MDT T0, autocalib.) • Event database (simulated, then real)
Database Model Investigations • Production database: • Local UM will be OO (Cristal package-testing) • Global UM will be relational (ACCESS) based upon Rome template • Geometry: AMDB now, will be Objectivity • Trigger: investigating object relational db • Calibration and Event: plan is OO
Summary • Investigation of relation, object relational and object oriented databases underway • Production databases done by year end • Geometry in OO db by year end • Trigger, Event and Calibration db model studies in progress • Document analyzing OO vs relational database and our experiences to ATLAS in September
