Daisy Analysis Features - Opening Databases

Back

Several types of database can be opened by Daisy 4D :-

  • Comma-Separated Files - They don't necessarily have to be comma delimited and the field or column names can be in the first record or the first full one.

  • Excel Workbooks - A single worksheet in an Excel workbook can be opened directly.

  • Any database opened with ADO - This technique can handle nearly all databases, whether they be stored on the local computer or on another on a network.

  • An Outlook Address Book or contacts folder can be opened directly - You must have Outlook 2000 or later installed.


Note :-

  1. Databases must be opened as a table, which is defined by a series of rows or records, which contain a number of fields or columns.

  2. Databases are always opened as a series of text values. This is because it makes it easier to analyse the same data in many different ways.
