This is the official documentation for BETY: https://pecan.gitbook.io/betydb-documentation/betydb-tables
There is also a good bit of information about BETY in the PEcAn documentation as well https://pecanproject.github.io/pecan-documentation/develop
There are many instances of the database that are synced periodically. The master version is https://www.betydb.org/
The version you will be using is the copy that is hosted at BU on the psql-pecan
server. It can be found at http://psql-pecan.bu.edu/bety
You will never need to ssh directly to this server. You can access it from test-pecan
.
