About omdb

https://www.omdb.org/content/About

omdb (open media database) is a free database for film media. There is no set editorial staff, but rather a large number of movie addicts and lovers who volunteer their time to provide material and develop the site. Anybody can add or change existing information on omdb once they have done the quick and simple task of signing up for their user login name. Films will thus be represented with equal opportunities hence Blockbusters, Soap Operas, and a college thesis film will each have their own place on omdb.

omdb is a non-commercial project. All the contents of the site are published under the Creative Commons License. The database therefore represents a contribution to free knowledge on the Internet. The information does not belong to a company or person but rather to the general public. omdb consciously stays away from commercial related information with an objective to provide a self-contained film database.

About omdb-postgresql

This database contains CSV data downloaded from https://www.omdb.org/content/Help:DataDownload, imported into a normalized PostgreSQL database schema. The data is basically unmodified, except for the removal of entries that would violate foreign key constraints. The database import script also removes some adult movies.

The database schema is intentionally not optimized (no indexes besides primary keys) in order to serve as a playground for database optimization.

This CGI script is developed by credativ, independently from omdb, and licensed under the GNU GPL, version 2 or later.
