Abstract
During the last few years the importance of geophysical databases has been growing increasingly. These tools offer the advantage of a clear seperation between logical and physical data management. Effective handling and fast access of complexly linked and inhomogeneous datasets are possible. In our paper we present a short introduction to the concepts of databases and two representative applications. The first example, DABACOS (DAta BAse for COrrelation Studies), was mainly developed for correlation studies among physical rock parameters, such as velocities and densities at various pressure and temperature conditions. Secondly, SEDABA (SEction DAta BAse) will be described. This database can be used for the quick and effective access and manipulation of vertical sections (e.g. interpreted seismic and geological sections).
