The SQL files included in this archive can be used to reproduce the database tables that constitute the DEER2011 Update database as of 30 November 2011.  

Each SQL script file is one "schema" of the deer_spt database this is currently hosted on the DEEResources.net web service and was produced via the "pg_dump" command executed on the current deer_spt database.  These files contain all of the data used to produce the DEER2011 energy impacts.  The format of the files is compatible with version 9.0 of the PostgresQL database server. From the PostgresQL documentation:

"Script dumps are plain-text files containing the SQL commands required to reconstruct the database to the state it was in at the time it was saved. To restore from such a script, feed it to psql. Script files can be used to reconstruct the database even on other machines and other architectures; with some modifications, even on other SQL database products."

A database interface program ("READI") is needed to produce the actual measure-specific energy impacts.  READI can be set up to access any local or remote PostgresQL database that includes the tables produced by these SQL scripts.

Note: PostgresQL is an open-source, free, enterprise class database available at postgresql.org.
