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). The loaded SDB files are listed under Source Database Result Files at the bottom of the Results Manager tree menu.
Selecting Load Source Databaseopens the Source Database Importer (Figure 2). 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 based on the values of a particular Metadata Key:
- Select the appropriate checkbox in the Apply Filter column checkbox
- Enter the text to be matched in the Search Text columnfield
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.
