What is SpaceQry? The BR’s Space Data and Publication Circular Query and Extract System, known as SpaceQry, is a software package that supplies both the BR’s internal and external users with a tool that accesses and queries all BR formatted Space Databases.
What does SpaceQry do? • Reads Electronic Space Circular Publications • Queries the SRS/SPS/SNS databases • Creates Subset Databases (Space Network / Earth Station Lists) • Updates SRS/NSLs from Space IFIC data • Maintains a “query database”
What can SpaceQry Query? • SRS/SPS/SNS/NSL Databases • Electronic Space IFIC Publications • Show only data relative to Publication (IFIC filter on) • Show all data for networks (IFIC filter off) • SpaceCap Output (Capture databases) • SNS-Online Download Databases
Types of Queries • Standard Perusal Queries • Frequency Overlap / Slot Queries • Predefined “Quick” Queries • AdHoc SQL Queries
Standard Queries • Intended for perusing the data • Standard query criteria: • Notification Reason • Administration, Organization, Country • Satellite / Earth station type • Satellite / Earth Station names • Orbital position / geographical location • Publication number & part
Frequency Overlap Queries • What networks overlap a given frequency band? • What networks operate within a freq. band (slot)? • Overlap/Slot query criteria: • All criteria available to Standard queries • Multiple frequency bands • Beam type (receiving / transmitting) • Group-level publication numbers • BR (examination) findings values • Date of receipt / date of protection
Frequency Overlap Queries (cont.) • Overlap query results displayed as… • List of Networks with overlapping frequencies • List of Networks with a sample overlapping frequency • List of Groups with overlapping frequencies • List of all overlapping frequencies • Overlap query results printed as a report • Overlap query results exported as… • Fixed-length, delimited, or HTML text files • Network / Station List • MS-Access database tables • MS-Excel spreadsheet
“Quick” Queries • “Quick” or “easy” = minimal info required • Display specific information about a network • Examples: • List frequencies by emission/reception, beam • List BR findings for all frequency groups • List Special Section publications for all groups • List unique frequency bands and the beams in which they appear
Ad Hoc SQL Queries • Allow you to design your own queries • Allow you to modify generated queries • Supply aids for query design • “select” statement templates • database table and field lists • NB: Require a basic knowledge of the SQL “Select” statement syntax & SRS database Structure
Ad Hoc SQL Queries (cont.) • Supplement SpaceQry’s pre-defined queries • When to use Adhoc Queries: • need to specify additional criteria • additional sorting order required • specific result required
Using the Queried Data... • Produce query-extraction databases (NSLs) • Update NSLs from Space Circular Publications • Update SRS from Space Circular Publications • Produce paper report (per network) • Export subsets of the data to ASCII & HTML files • Export results of queries to MS-Access tables • Export results of queries to MS-Excel spreadsheets • Display related Graphical data • Display network structure diagram
SpaceQry: Other Features • Direct link to GIMS for graphics • Direct link to Space Publication system • Access to BR space data on any (?) ODBC32 database platform
Current Version • Version 6.1 for Windows 9x, 2000, ME, XP and Vista • Reads MS-Access databases • Reads Ingres and SQLServer databases • Interfaces with GIMS (gimapi32.dll) • Interfaces with SpacePub • Interfaces with SRSConvert • Interfaces with SpaceCap (RES49 capture wizard) • Interfaces with SpaceVal (validation report)
