SPSS Base 15.0 Data Access
Have built-in access to a wide variety of data types
Before you start analysis, you have to bring in data - from many types of data sources - into SPSS Base 15.0. And often you have to transform that data to get them ready for analysis. Since
SPSS Base 15.0 has a Windows-based user interface, it's easy to access and manage data.
Database Wizard:
Use the Database Wizard to easily access massive amounts of data from numerous database sources. You can access databases without having to write SQL code. The Database Wizard guides you through the data access process and generates code in the background.
SPSS Base 15.0
includes drivers for many ODBC-compliant databases, including Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 UDB and Microsoft Access. With the right drivers, you can connect to any ODBC-compliant database resulting in minimal data handling using conversion-free/copy-free data access.
SAS Data: SPSS Base 15.0's GET SAS command quickly builds SPSS-format working data files from SAS datasets or SAS transport files (Version 8 or earlier). SPSS Base 15.0
automatically adjusts SAS variables and values for SPSS Base formats.
Text Wizard: Read text data such as survey data, purchased data or data downloaded from the Internet in a variety of formats using the Text Wizard.
Excel Data: Read data stored in Excel files (Version 5.0 or later) directly in SPSS 15.0. SPSS Base 15.0
also reads columns with mixed data types as valid string variables without any data loss.
