Extraction of Insurance Records

This was an interesting project, which consisted of extracting a large number of insurance records from a system which was thought to be captive, and importing them into a PC database. Various solutions had been proposed (including printing out all the records and then scanning them back in to the new system!).

The solution adopted consisted of using the PC to emulate first the printer, and then the terminal to the system. Once the protocol was known, it was a fairly simple task to get the PC to automatically request every record in turn, and store the information to disk. It was then processed, for import into the new database, designed by Likvod Systems using a desktop database package. This solution was guaranteed to be 100% error free, with no accidental modification of the data as a result of the conversion process, because all transfers were electronic, rather than by paper.

Grain Harvest Database

This was another interesting project, which consisted of building a database to track the grain harvest at a local farm. Grain enters the barns as it is harvested, and is then released for delivery as the year progresses. The database needed to keep track of such shipments, and the expected and actual costs and profits of such activity.
