Warehou Database Documentation

The warehou database has been constructed primarily to facilitate reporting. This document describes warehou’s Catch Effort base fields and views; the event concept; and the keys used to link views.

This document is adapted from part 2 in a series covering aspects of the Ministry of Fisheries Catch Effort system.

This document is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to the database but has been written as basic background material for report writers. A solid foundation in database concepts, and a basic understanding of the business of commercial fishing are assumed.

It is possible that factual errors will exist within this document. Please report any such factual errors that you find to the Ministry of Fisheries Research Data and Reporting Group so that we may correct these in subsequent versions.
