I can provide SQL database dumps (PostgreSQL, but adaptable for other SQL
databases) for:

* ~38,000 hardware items (table "hwr"), e.g. "KA630" "MicroVAX II CPU"(99%
DEC items)
* ~117,000 hardware item variants (table "hwrvar"), e.g. "KA630-AB" "1MB
without floating point"

There are tables for other kinds of items, too, e.g.: "swrpro" (software),
"doc" (manuals), "swrpac" (software packages), ...

And there are the "link tables" that glue the "base tables" together, e.g.:
"doc_hwr" (which manuals describe certain hardware items).

For the database specialists: Referential integity is strictly inforced

Finally there is a user-interface, too, built with LibreOffice Base.

Last but not least I must admit that the "DECdoc" database is VERY helpful,
but it needs some understanding of databases, and it lacks a web interface.

Let me know when you want to try ...
