Chief Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 We are going to start a new ID Database. This database will be constructed by each of us. Right now it is a work in progress. We need to work out the kinks. Give me some feedback on this thread. PNWMAS ID Database Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 I also added a link in the "Quick Links" menu pulldown below the banner. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerinah Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 That is a very awesome start!! How do we submit photos to be added to this database?? Is it on a first come first serve basis as to who gets the first photo of a clownfish in? Are they going to be replaced by "better" photo's? Are we voting on the photo's to represent each of the "species" that are sent in? (was all this covered somewhere else and I missed it?). I think this will be a wonderful addition to our website. Great work for those that are involved in creating that database ID website (and this one as well). Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 For now, we are going to accept all entries. We will then verify all entries to be correct. Then if we have an overabundance of any one species, we will vote on the picture to represent that species. Right now lets just focus on content. Try to take good pictures as we need good clear pics.

Aerinah Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Tis all I wanted to know (I was just curious) Sucks though... I can't get any clear shots with my digi camera... anyone have any ideas on how to clear them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 manual focus is your friend. If your using zoom you may have to back up a bit, I use diopters to get up close with full zoom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Well I did my part... where is everyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well I did my part... where is everyone else? I'm taking my camera into the store today. Focusing problems. Nice work Nyles! Be sure to include Genus and species with pic, Common names are needed too, of course. Several common names can be used for each picture, if known. Thanks!

JManrow Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 What are the guidelines for adding to the database? Must the person adding to the database be the one taking the picture that is posted? Can they be from the PNWMAS site? How about if we have permission from the owner of the picture or website where it is found? We have not really gone over any "rules".

defigart Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 How do you add them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 At this point, I am not concerned with rules. I am more concerned with content. For now, until we have a firm set of rules, please only post your own pictures. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriswaters Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 How do you add them? It is fairly easy. I just created a user name and password (which can be the same as PNWMAS) and then log in. From there, choose your catagory and click upload. I was more successful uploading from my own files than urls or other web based files. I did open the picture I wanted to post with MSpaint and used the "stretch/skew" function under the "edit" tab. From there, I reduced 50 % both ways and attained the proper "pixel" and "file" size. Save the file, and then from the upload button, browse, find and wah lah! You all have done this before I am sure! Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 In time that will be a big help in identifying things. Good idea WTG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alton.cedric Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 First for foremost. Every table needs an "ID" field, usually an autonumber. For the 1st 2 tables use InstructorID and StudentID. The 3rd table should use ClassID. The classes table shoult NOT link the other 2 tables. If you want the class info, then only that class info should be in the table. Create 2 more tables that will be "look up" tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
