The PODS Association Final Release of PODS 4.0.2

Supporting the pipeline community by providing the latest release from the PODS Technical Committee

(Tulsa, Oklahoma – May 25, 2007) The PODS Association announces today that PODS 4.0.2 has been released to the association members as a final release. All member comments were addressed by the PODS Technical Committee.

In September of 2006, the PODS Board of Directors requested that the PODS Technical Committee enhance the data model by performing needed “housekeeping” tasks. Some of the improvements to the data model have included minor corrections to table and field names as well as new table diagrams, including the Anode Submodel and Coupon-Site Submodel. Many of the changes were made in the PODS 4.0.1 release (May 25, 2007) and more changes have been made in this final release of PODS 4.0.2.

Changes to the data model include:

  • Table diagram of the new 4.0.2 model.
  • Table diagram of the Anode Sub model.
  • Table diagram of the Coupon-Site sub model.

The Technical Committee is continuing to improve and enhance the data model. As industry volunteers, they are leaders in their fields.
