SQL Databases
Statit provides access via SQL and an interactive
query tool to relational databases. Database
connectivity is via ODBC.
Statit provides seamless integration so the
database columns are imported with the same
name, data type, and associated dictionary information.
The Statit query tool provides a powerful,
easy-to-use interface to a database. Using only
the mouse the user may select tables and columns,
define joins, specify a where condition, sort,
and group. Queries may be saved to disk for
later use.
Spreadsheets and Other Files Types
Statit allows you to read data from a file
or your keyboard in many forms and formats,
including numeric, string, monetary, date and/or
time, and binary. Because Statit can read data
in almost any format, data can be collected
from existing data sets without pre-processing.
Statit offers the ability to import and export
files in many different formats including Excel,
Lotus 1-2-3, SAS, SPSS, Paradox, dBase, FoxPro,
QuattroPro, Stata, and Matlab.
Direct Data Entry
When entering data directly into Statit you
can reduce errors and increase productivity
by using data entry forms.
Forms are created either automatically by Statit,
referred to as “keyboard” forms, or
they may be custom designed using Statit’s
Form Language (SFL).
In the "keyboard" method, you specify
the variable names and their types and Statit
creates the form automatically.
Using SFL, you can create data entry forms
that support all data formats and include features
such as forced or default responses, popup menus
for response selection, data verification, etc.
Virtually all the functionality of the user
interface is available with SFL.
