Connecting to an acQuire Database

There are two options for connecting to an acQuire database:

  • Create a new connection. To do this, right-click on the Drillhole Data folder and select Import Drillhole Data via acQuire > New Selection. Select the server and click Connect. Next, enter the login details supplied by your database administrator.
  • Create a connection from an existing selection file. Right-click on the Drillhole Data folder and select Import Drillhole Data via acQuire > Existing Selection. Navigate to the location where the selection file is stored and open the file.

Once connected to the database, you will be able to select the required data using the Select data from acQuire window.

Optionally, click the Profiles button and choose a profile from those on the acQuire database. Profiles are created in acQuire; see your acQuire administrator for more information.

You can also use the other tabs on the acQuire component interface to make other data selections.

For more information on using the third-party selection tools provided in the Select data from acQuire window, see your acQuire user documentation. When you have finished specifying the selection, click OK to import the data. The import process is similar to that described in Importing Drillhole Data.

Once the drillhole data has been loaded, you can:

Smart Refresh

Smart Refresh obtains the latest drillhole data from the acQuire database without reloading the entire contents of the database. This reduces the amount of data transfer required and speeds data updated. If any data relating to a drillhole has changed, the whole drillhole is updated. Any new drillholes in the database can be added.

Right-click on the Drillholes object in the project tree and select Smart Refresh. The Select data from acQuire window will appear.

If the current data selection settings include data changes, you can click OK and the updated data will be imported. You may also chose to modify the data selection settings, which may append further data when you click OK.

Saving a Selection

Saving a selection saves the current acQuire database selection to file for future reuse. You can use a selection to import the same set of drillhole data in new Leapfrog Geo projects.

To save an acQuire selection, right-click on the Drillholes object in the project tree and select Save Selection. You will be prompted for a filename and location.
