Databases and Database-driven Applications

Oracle Database 10g

The Oracle Database runs in Version 10g (g = Grid Control) and is acting as Data Repository for the Infopark CMS Fiona Content Management System.

MySQL 5 Database

Its main applications are

the editorial boards to maintain seminar announcements, staff data, publication references and library data
the Wiki systems
LimeSurvey
the Mantis Trouble Ticket system
the "unattended" system management tool

A Master-Slave replication to the MySQL servers in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is established. Furthermore, it can be used as a multi purpose system for various applications by every Scientist at the Institute.

PostgreSQL

Exclusively for the OMERO application (mainly used by the Lightmicroscopy Facilty, Dr. Günter Giese), a PostgreSQL Server was set up. OMERO a is modern server and client software for visualising, managing, and annotating microscope images and metadata. It is a collection of separate components that provide image visualisation, annotation, importing, archiving, protocol recording, and user administration. OMERO consists of Java Enterprise server components and Java client applications.
