Abstract: As far as the seismological research is based on observation,huge seismic precursor data are produced at earthquake stations. It is vital to send them precisely and betimes. During the period of the Ninth Five-Year Project of China Seismological Bureau,several methods were applied to transmitting seismic precursor data,such as advanced replication,FTP,E-mail and etc. The advanced replication is used more extensively than others. But data are often lost by advanced replication. So a new transmission method has to be found to meet the need. This paper presents the advanced queuing method for transmitting seismic precursor data. Advanced queuing has a unique database-integrated message queuing feature built on the Oracle Streams information integration infrastructure. With Advanced Queuing,message queuing operations can be performed in the way similar to SQL operations from the Oracle database. Message queuing functionality allows applications of Oracle database to communicate asynchronously via messages in AQ queues. With the development in seismic precursor observation in China,more knowledge on the characteristics of seismic precursor data has been gained,for instance the data sources are complex,the data structure is diversified,the data sampling rate is not consistent. In order to transmit seismologic precursor data,a standard data structure needs to be created. The transmission is either point to point or point to multi-points. The system is programmed by PL/SQL. Both the sending host and the receiving one are installed with Oracle9i version. The result shows that it can transmit seismic precursor data from earthquake station to provincial center safely and reliably by using advanced queuing. It also has additional advantages compared with before. Firstly,it can assign priority to data,and then transmit the urgent data of higher priority; Secondly,it is easy to manage the advance queue with Oracle Enterprise Manager. But the network bandwidth is still the bottleneck of the transmission.
