Jack,

In my previous reply I said that "second" wasn't included in the base-units 
database because that database wasn't designed to hold names.

I was mistaken. The name "second" is in the base-units database -- as are all 
the names of the base units of the SI unit system.

The alias"sec" isn't in the base-units database because that name isn't part of 
the SI unit system. It is, however, a common abbreviation, which is why it's in 
the common-units database.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
