DBMS/Copy
DBMS/COPY是一个数据类型转换专用软件包,它可以直接读取80种统计软件包的二进制数据、数据变量、时间序列和缺省值,在不同数据类型之间进行转换。DBMS/COPY也具有一定的变量分析和计算能力。DBMS/COPY可以读取SAS、Stata统计数据,支持Microsoft的ODBC和在线文献。DBMS/COPY在2002年被SAS公司收购,在2008年11月停止开发和维护。
DBMS/COPY is a tool for transferring data between software programs such as spreadsheets, databases and statistical programs including SAS, SPSS, JMP, S-Plus, SigmaStat and Stata. DBMS/COPY directly reads and writes the native binary files of over 80 packages. DBMS/COPY’ interactive ASCII Data Dictionary Builder is useful for working with ASCII files. DBMS/COPY takes care of dissimilar numeric types, date variables, time variables, null value and variable name truncation. The built-in batch processing can automate repetitive transfers.
In 2002, DBMS/Copy was acquired by SAS. SAS informed VCU that they were discontinuing development and support of DBMS/Copy effective November 1, 2008.
