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). A Source Database previously exported from Result Manager can be loaded using the 'Load Source Db' option in Results Manager. The newly loaded SDB files are will be listed under Source Database Result Files at the bottom of the Results Manager tree menu. An SDB can also be loaded as a time series but this doesn't provide the ability to filter according to metadata tags (see SDB Importer Details).

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 Apply Filter checkbox
- Enter the text to be matched in the Search Text field
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.
