Overview
The Geological Database module in Surpac is one of the most important set of tools you can learn.
Drillhole data is the starting point of all mining projects and constitutes the basis on which feasibility
studies and ore reserve estimations are done.
A geological database consists of a number of tables, each of which contains different kind of data. Each
table contains a number of fields. Each table will also have many records, with each record containing
the data fields.
Surpac uses a relational database model and supports several different types of databases, including
Oracle, Paradox and Microsoft Access. Surpac also supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and can
connect to databases across networks. A database can contain up to 50 tables and each table can have a
maximum of 60 fields.
