LIMS Component Table


PLACEHOLDER until the new PXRF components and data structure is defined
ANALYSISTABLENAMEABOUT TEXT
PXRFSAMPLEExpExp: expedition number
PXRFSAMPLESiteSite: site number
PXRFSAMPLEHoleHole: hole number
PXRFSAMPLECoreCore: core number
PXRFSAMPLETypeType: type indicates the coring tool used to recover the core (typical types are F, H, R, X).
PXRFSAMPLESectSect: section number
PXRFSAMPLEA/WA/W: archive (A) or working (W) section half.
PXRFSAMPLEtext_idText_ID: automatically generated database identifier for a sample, also carried on the printed labels. This identifier is guaranteed to be unique across all samples.
PXRFSAMPLEsample_numberSample Number: automatically generated database identifier for a sample. This is the primary key of the SAMPLE table.
PXRFSAMPLElabel_idLabel identifier: automatically generated, human readable name for a sample that is printed on labels. This name is not guaranteed unique across all samples.
PXRFSAMPLEsample_nameSample name: short name that may be specified for a sample. You can use an advanced filter to narrow your search by this parameter.
PXRFSAMPLEx_sample_stateSample state: Single-character identifier always set to "W" for samples; standards can vary.
PXRFSAMPLEx_projectProject: similar in scope to the expedition number, the difference being that the project is the current cruise, whereas expedition could refer to material/results obtained on previous cruises
PXRFSAMPLEx_capt_locCaptured location: "captured location," this field is usually null and is unnecessary because any sample captured on the JR has a sample_number ending in 1, and GCR ending in 2
PXRFSAMPLElocationLocation: location that sample was taken; this field is usually null and is unnecessary because any sample captured on the JR has a sample_number ending in 1, and GCR ending in 2
PXRFSAMPLEx_sampling_toolSampling tool: sampling tool used to take the sample (e.g., syringe, spatula)
PXRFSAMPLEchanged_byChanged by: username of account used to make a change to a sample record
PXRFSAMPLEchanged_onChanged on: date/time stamp for change made to a sample record
PXRFSAMPLEsample_typeSample type: type of sample from a predefined list (e.g., HOLE, CORE, LIQ)
PXRFSAMPLEx_offsetOffset (m): top offset of sample from top of parent sample, expressed in meters.
PXRFSAMPLEx_offset_cmOffset (cm): top offset of sample from top of parent sample, expressed in centimeters. This is a calculated field (offset, converted to cm)
PXRFSAMPLEx_bottom_offset_cmBottom offset (cm): bottom offset of sample from top of parent sample, expressed in centimeters. This is a calculated field (offset + length, converted to cm)
PXRFSAMPLEx_diameterDiameter (cm): diameter of sample, usually applied only to CORE, SECT, SHLF, and WRND samples; however this field is null on both Exp. 390 and 393, so it is no longer populated by Sample Master
PXRFSAMPLEx_orig_lenOriginal length (m): field for the original length of a sample; not always (or reliably) populated
PXRFSAMPLEx_lengthLength (m): field for the length of a sample [as entered upon creation]
PXRFSAMPLEx_length_cmLength (cm): field for the length of a sample. This is a calculated field (length, converted to cm).
PXRFSAMPLEstatusStatus: single-character code for the current status of a sample (e.g., active, canceled)
PXRFSAMPLEold_statusOld status: single-character code for the previous status of a sample; used by the LIME program to restore a canceled sample
PXRFSAMPLEoriginal_sampleOriginal sample: field tying a sample below the CORE level to its parent HOLE sample
PXRFSAMPLEparent_sampleParent sample: the sample from which this sample was taken (e.g., for PWDR samples, this might be a SHLF or possibly another PWDR)
PXRFSAMPLEstandardStandard: T/F field to differentiate between samples (standard=F) and QAQC standards (standard=T)
PXRFSAMPLElogin_byLogin by: username of account used to create the sample (can be the LIMS itself [e.g., SHLFs created when a SECT is created])
PXRFSAMPLElogin_dateLogin date: creation date of the sample
PXRFSAMPLElegacyLegacy flag: T/F indicator for when a sample is from a previous expedition and is locked/uneditable on this expedition
PXRFTESTtest changed_onTEST changed on: date/time stamp for a change to a test record.
PXRFTESTtest statusTEST status: single-character code for the current status of a test (e.g., active, in process, canceled)
PXRFTESTtest old_statusTEST old status: single-character code for the previous status of a test; used by the LIME program to restore a canceled test
PXRFTESTtest test_numberTEST test number: automatically generated database identifier for a test record. This is the primary key of the TEST table.
PXRFTESTtest date_receivedTEST date received: date/time stamp for the creation of the test record.
PXRFTESTtest instrumentTEST instrument [instrument group]: field that describes the instrument group (most often this applies to loggers with multiple sensors); often obscure (e.g., user_input)
PXRFTESTtest analysisTEST analysis: analysis code associated with this test (foreign key to the ANALYSIS table)
PXRFTESTtest x_projectTEST project: similar in scope to the expedition number, the difference being that the project is the current cruise, whereas expedition could refer to material/results obtained on previous cruises
PXRFTESTtest sample_numberTEST sample number: the sample_number of the sample to which this test record is attached; a foreign key to the SAMPLE table
PXRFTESTTop depth CSF-A (m)Top depth CSF-A (m): position of observation expressed relative to the top of the hole.
PXRFTESTBottom depth CSF-A (m)Bottom depth CSF-A (m): position of observation expressed relative to the top of the hole.
PXRFTESTTop depth CSF-B (m)Top depth [other] (m): position of observation expressed relative to the top of the hole. The location is presented in a scale selected by the science party or the report user.
PXRFTESTBottom depth CSF-B (m)Bottom depth [other] (m): position of observation expressed relative to the top of the hole. The location is presented in a scale selected by the science party or the report user.
PXRFRESULTdatetimeRESULT datetime: date/time stamp for each run
PXRFRESULTmodeRESULT mode: the calibration selected for the run (e.g., Geochem, Mudrock)
PXRFRESULTrun_numberRESULT run number: serial number of the run (incremented by the instrument for each sample)
PXRFSAMPLEsample_nameSAMPLE sample name: repeated display of the sample label ID from the SAMPLE table
PXRFRESULTreadingRESULT reading number: human-input run number for each sample
PXRFRESULTrun_spm_asman_idRESULT spectrum file ASMAN_ID: serial number of the ASMAN link for the spectral raw data (.SPM) file
PXRFRESULTrun_spm_filenameRESULT spectrum filename: file name for the spectral raw data (.SPM) file
