Hello Iris
friends:
I have some
very factual information on the AIS database project to pass along to you all. I
am sure there is substantial interest in this information as there were a large
number of messages recently on the Iris Talk List discussing this
topic.
I have recently
been in contact with Howard Hughes who is the driving force behind the project.
Here are some facts about the project and the status of it directly from
him.
There are 46,637 records this covers all
registrations up to the 1997 book.
There
will be an expected 800 to 1000 additional
when the 1998 R and I book is available.
Each item in the printed checklists has been
entered into a separate field. This will allow the list to be sorted by any
field. There is also a sorting field to allow for exact
alphabetical listings.
Fields are as
follows: Cultivar Name
Hybridizer
Introducer
Introduction Year
Registration Year
Seedling Number
Variety
Height
Inches
Height
Cm's
Season
Color Code
Description
Parentage
Awards
Along with several control
fields Microsoft Access97 is used for the database
program. File size is approx 40 Mb at present.
Hopefully an index will be available soon. The
index will tell you which book to look in to find the information on an iris.
The full version will be made available on a CD disk some time ???
Project
started in November 1996.
Project status November 1998 60%-70% done. There you
go...
