I'm a member of a team that implements a samples database in our
institute using Django. It's about keeping track of all
depositions, etching processes, and measurements of our
semiconductor samples.
As far as storing measurement data in the database: We don't do
that. Raw data is better stored in their original files in my
opinion. It's equivalent to the old blob discussion. Such things
shouldn't be in the database backend, but just the *pointer* to it.
The web server has access to the raw data through shared directories
(aka Samba). This way, Django still can generate plots of the raw
data when this is suitable. This reduces redundancy, and it is
efficient.
Tschö,
Torsten.
