Here is a qwestion. Under UIPA laws and FOIA.... is the entire index database subject for release under those laws?
Forcing the release of THAT to a party capable of disseminating the information it contains..... Thats an interesting question no?
Interesting question. As a DBA, I would fight that release like holy hell. It gives the public insight into the structure on my database and thus compromises its security. I’m one of those uppity, control freak DBAs who won’t let people query the database unless they have a legitimate reason for doing so.
As a citizen wanting to see the data ... I say release it.
No, the whole database wouldn’t be subject to the provisions of those laws. But you could probably get them to release the index data they’re required to provide for every birth on record.
