Soil Database Connectivity Specification

This configuration field holds the JDBC:ODBC connectivity string required for the WEPS interface to connect to and query a local NRCS SSURGO database. For WEPS to connect to a Microsoft Access format SSURGO soil database, the string required is:

JDBC:ODBC:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=$!db

For a SSURGO database file to be accessed by the WEPS interface then the 'Soil DB' configuration field must also be properly populated with the name and location of the SSURGO database file.
