Centralized databases for handling reduced data for physics analysis have been implemented for the DIII-D tokamak. Each database record corresponds to a specific snapshot in time for a selected discharge. Features of the database environment include automatic updating, data integrity checks, and data traceability. Reduced data from each diagnostic comprises a dedicated dataset (a subset of the database) with quality assurance provided by a physicist. For the confinement database, these datasets will be used to create profile datasets which will be input to a transport code to create a transport dataset. The databases are implemented on a Digital Equipment Corporation VAX 8600 running VMS. The database management system is S1032 from Software House, Inc.
