This article details the design, structure and content of a Web-based database created by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency containing declassified documents on the Vietnam War. The main reason for the creation of the database is the Declassified Documents Catalog's lack of in-depth indexing. Total searches such as searches for personal names, place-names, names of operations/battles, and titles of U.S. and/or Vietnamese government projects/programs, which would be very useful for Vietnam War scholars/researchers, are impossible. As of July 2004, the database contains 1,080 records, 34 percent of which provide a link to the full-text documents available online at the Virtual Vietnam Archive. The documents analyzed could go from one to a few hundred pages. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 was used as the database server. In addition to being an outstanding relational database server, the rich full-text search capabilities it offers made it an excellent choice for this project. The database consists of a single table, although some normalization could have done, especially with respect to the indexing terms. All columns in the table, with the exception of Document ID, are variable length character data.
