PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

text_id

Text_ID: automatically generated database identifier for a sample, also carried on the printed labels. This identifier is guaranteed to be unique across all samples.

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

sample_number

Sample Number: automatically generated database identifier for a sample. This is the primary key of the SAMPLE table.

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

label_id

Label identifier: automatically generated, human readable name for a sample that is printed on labels. This name is not guaranteed unique across all samples.

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

sample_name

Sample name: short name that may be specified for a sample. You can use an advanced filter to narrow your search by this parameter.

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_sample_state

Sample state: Single-character identifier always set to "W" for samples; standards can vary.

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_project

Project: similar in scope to the expedition number, the difference being that the project is the current cruise, whereas expedition could refer to material/results obtained on previous cruises

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_capt_loc

Captured location: "captured location," this field is usually null and is unnecessary because any sample captured on the JR has a sample_number ending in 1, and GCR ending in 2

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

location

Location: location that sample was taken; this field is usually null and is unnecessary because any sample captured on the JR has a sample_number ending in 1, and GCR ending in 2

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_sampling_tool

Sampling tool: sampling tool used to take the sample (e.g., syringe, spatula)

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

changed_by

Changed by: username of account used to make a change to a sample record

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

changed_on

Changed on: date/time stamp for change made to a sample record

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

sample_type

Sample type: type of sample from a predefined list (e.g., HOLE, CORE, LIQ)

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_offset

Offset (m): top offset of sample from top of parent sample, expressed in meters.

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_offset_cm

Offset (cm): top offset of sample from top of parent sample, expressed in centimeters. This is a calculated field (offset, converted to cm)

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_bottom_offset_cm

Bottom offset (cm): bottom offset of sample from top of parent sample, expressed in centimeters. This is a calculated field (offset + length, converted to cm)

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_diameter

Diameter (cm): diameter of sample, usually applied only to CORE, SECT, SHLF, and WRND samples; however this field is null on both Exp. 390 and 393, so it is no longer populated by Sample Master

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

description

SAMPLE comment: contents of the SAMPLE.description field, usually shown on reports as "Sample comments"

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_orig_len

Original length (m): field for the original length of a sample; not always (or reliably) populated

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_length

Length (m): field for the length of a sample [as entered upon creation]

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

x_length_cm

Length (cm): field for the length of a sample. This is a calculated field (length, converted to cm).

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

status

Status: single-character code for the current status of a sample (e.g., active, canceled)

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

old_status

Old status: single-character code for the previous status of a sample; used by the LIME program to restore a canceled sample

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

original_sample

Original sample: field tying a sample below the CORE level to its parent HOLE sample

PC_ORIENT

SAMPLE

parent_sample

Parent sample: the sample from which this sample was taken (e.g., for PWDR samples, this might be a SHLF or possibly another PWDR)

PC_ORIENT
