DBARD for PARADOX: Developments in DBARD, the Database for Acid Rock Drainage

Mine Environment Neutral Drainage at CANMET-MMSL

MEND Project 1.12.1b
March 1996

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

DBARD for Paradox has been developed as a repository for acid rock drainage prediction test data. The purpose of DBARD is to aid researchers, industry and regulators in assessing the prediction data obtained as part of evaluations required for waste management planning and permitting. The previous phase in the development of DBARD entailed the conversion of DBARD Version 2.0 from a dBASE III Plus platform to a Windows-based environment as well as updating and expanding the range of data entered. This report and user guide describes the design, organization and use of the latest version of DBARD which was designed to run within Paradox Version 5.0. DBARD for Paradox was designed to allow easier data viewing, entry and editing. New fields were added to the database to improve the extent of data, their quality and cross referencing. In addition, reporting capabilities were enhanced to allow a large number of report formats with many data combinations to be generated. Example reports are provided.
