RE: rad safety office database management
I'm using an ORACLE based program that allows me to manage the isotope
inventory "live", that is the isotope user enters and deduces the amonth
of activity used. Since it is on ORACLE, PC and MAC users can have
access to it by the INTRANET and NETSCAPE. This database, have also the
internal permit conditions and limits and the whole system verifies
against this internal permit to restrict access to unauthorized users
and unauthorized isotopes or activities. We will extend the process this
year to waste management. I wrote a paper (about this system) that will
be presented to the CRPA 97 in Victoria BC . I'm finding the system to
be very reliable, user friendly and may, at any time, indicate the
amount of radioactivity stored in any of our 42 locations of use or
storage in the research center and WHO used it or trashed it etc. The
response to that system is very good, we hardly find any non-compliance
issues pertaining to inventory and management.
As for the management of other HP activities, I'm still on EXCEL and
ACCESS programs (dosimetry, purchases management, calibration data etc.)

It looks as if there are at least a few of us using dBASE for database
management (Eric Boeldt's message here; P. Hamrick's recent article in
the HP Journal). I'm in the on-again/off-again process of trying to
rewrite our database programs in Visual dBASE 5.5 (currently running
under dBASE IV).
Would there be any interest in putting together an informal support
group for rad safety offices using or thinking of using dBASE?
Relational databases in general?
