Load Source Database

Loads a Source Database (SDB) file. The SDB is Source's binary file format for storing time series data and associated metadata (for details see the SDB file format documentation).

Selecting Load Source Databaseopens the Source Database Importer (Figure 72). Click the three dots "..." in Source Database Location field to navigate to and select an existing *.sdb file from your hard drive.

By default, all time series in the SDB file will be imported. However, the user can specify Search Criteria to import time series with specific metadata content. To filter the data:

  1. Select the appropriate checkbox in the Apply Filter column
  2. Enter the text to be matched in the Search Text column

Only time series matching the search text for the selected metadata key will be imported. A match occurs if all or part of a string is matched, and matches are not case sensitive. For example, the search text "Flow" could match "Downstream Flow" and "Inflow".

If the SDB is filtered on multiple metadata keys simultaneously, then only time series that match all search criteria will be imported.
