This paper describes a software environmental database information system that uses SAS to process data and ORACLE{reg_sign} as the relational database management system (RDBMS). The hardware includes a network of UNIX-based servers and workstations. The relational database consists of large tables containing envionmental measurement data, as well as other smaller tables with reference, metadata and internal administrative information. The data come in a variety of formats and must be converted to conform to the system`s standards. SAS/ACCESS{sub {reg_sign}} and PROC SQL are used extensively in the data processing.
