Archeobases project
The Archeobases project his ou main archaelogical related databases project. He was initiated a long time ago by the laboratory with the collaboration of MNHN and the CERPT. The main objective of this project is to allow our researchers to maintain records of archaological excavations and to do SQL queries with a simple web browser.
This project is very specific to our actual archeological research and may not be appripriate tou your own needs. We are actualy working on the refoctoring of the whole project for the 2.0 version to add more standardisation.
Savebases & Savetotape projects
Savebases & Savetotape are two python scripts used to dump Postgres databases and save them on an unix data tape. They are used internaly for our database backups and as python coding exercises.
We are using them in production environnent and we are planning to finish them as an exercise. But the 1.0 version of this two scrip will be the last one, and we are already planning to use rdiff-backup & safekeep instead.
