APPLICATION OF ELECTRONIC DATABASES IN GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH-RESEARCH

Abstract

Intensive development of information technologies has led to their wide use in all spheres of modern science. This paper discusses the use of information technologies for storage and processing the information accumulated in various geological collections and, in particular, in the funds of the Institute of Geology of the Dagestan Scientific Center of Russian Academy of Sciences. The major challenge that must be addressed to is the problem of formalization and normalization of information. These problems can be successfully solved with the use of modern software tools for data warehousing, analytical data processing systems, i. e. the so-called OLAP-equipment and various means of data analysis. The whole process of development of information-analytical system begins with identifying ways of secure data storage. Thus, this article deals with the issues on creation of information-searching database of the wells drilled in different times in the territory of the Republic of Dagestan. For these purposes it is helpful to use the available database management system Microsoft Access. Quite a lot of work has been done to formalize information on wells; the problems of development of electronic databases in geology have been described. Using relational database technology developed has been the database of hydro-geological parameters of artesian wells located in the territory of the Republic of Dagestan. The technique for operation of the database is described.
