Abstract
The objective of the present study is to build and implement a database application system that produces and plots conditional Production Possibilities Frontier (cPPF) for corn and soybean including a user friendly interface, where the user can easily interact with the data. It is an effort to provide economists with an accessible and easy to use data management tool which will facilitate the future analyses of the economy-wide impacts of bioenergy production and policy. The study uses the economic modeling systems operating on field-level, GISbased cropping history and soils data developed for the state of Iowa [1]. The database was implemented based on single-tier application using the Microsoft Access application. A single-tier application is one where the entire application is contained and runs on a single computer [2]. The main reason for choosing Microsoft Access over others database management system (DBMS) products such as Oracle, SQL Server or MySQL was the user’s natural choice: Microsoft Office Access is a great engine that is easy to learn and cost effective [3], the user wished to have a user interface that is easy to interact with. Therefore Microsoft Office Access with its great user interface design served fine.
