RSSB
Safety database search tool prototype

Project Requirements
RSSB required a web enabled application to search their disparate safety data sources to retrieve related safety records and events. The data sources consisted of Access, Excel, Oracle and PDF documents. The application had to export the data to Excel and have a layer of authentication. The data sources had several levels of security requiring access permissions, direct access and requests for commercially sensitive data.

Solution
Hyperdrive Solutions created a web enabled application using Microsoft’s Visual Studio .NET. Form based security and the drag-and-drop ability of Visual Studio was used with great effect to rapidly generate the prototype. SQL Server was used as the data manager in the form of linked servers to connect to the various different data sources. Index server with an iFilter was used to categorise the various PDF and Word documents. Open query SQL statements were generated dynamically depending on the keywords and categories chosen by the user’s search criteria.
