Description
The choice of using a relational database in the KM3NeT Collaboration has been
natural after the experience in the ANTARES experiment, but with a broader horizon.
The core of the system is a RAC installation hosted at the computing centre of IN2P3
in Lyon, but a geographically distributed DB network is foreseen. The DB is used for
Collaboration management, detector construction and bookkeeping of operational data;
performance benchmarks show that mass data hosting in relational DB’s is in principle
also possible. DB access is provided by an Application Web server that not only
provides a GUI interface, but also channels HTTP requests to SQL and
retrieves/inserts data in optimized way, potentially establishing a bridge towards
Cloud/Grid computing models.
