Data Storage

All system data is stored in a central database server.  

Standard relational model with no proprietary data storage.  

Complex fields like survey job properties stored in published XML format, keeping data open in case of migration to other systems or integration to other systems.  

All data to be stored in the Well Known Binary format of the Open Geospatial Consortium.  

Usual backup and restore procedures available since data is stored in central database server, No application data is stored on client machines.  

The database Disk requirements can be estimated as 2 Kilobyte per peg.  

So for 100,000 pegs this means that the Database will need no more than 200MB.
