This paper describes how databases are used by the Advanced Photon Source (APS) Project at Argonne National Laboratory to help manage the project and its resources. It documents our experiences in implementing database technology in a large scientific project. Some of the topics that will be discussed include: The APS database environment; decentralizing databases; extending the database environment (graphical, spreadsheet and barcode interfaces);choosing a database; and software development issues.
