DBMS/Copy
Product Description
For over 10 years and for tens of thousands of satisfied customers
worldwide, DBMS/COPY has been the choice for transferring data
between software packages. It directly reads and writes
the native binary files for over 80 packages. DBMS/COPY
doesn't stop there, you get record filters, variable subsetting
and powerful computational capabilities.
DBMS/COPY takes care of all the hassles in transferring data
including: dissimilar numeric types, date variables, time variables,
null value and variable name truncation. Problems with
free and fixed format ASCII files disappear with the ASCII Data
Dictionary Builder. The Spreadsheet Grabber enables you
to visually grab from anywhere within the spreadsheet.
Complex SQL queries can be created with the friendly ODBC query
builder. You can use the built-in batch processing to
automate repetitive transfers.

Oracle, Informix & ODBC
For SQL based packages including Oracle, Informix, Sybase and others, DBMS/COPY
uses ODBC. DBMS/COPY has a built-in query builder for reading packages with
ODBC drivers. (Microsoft Access is now on the list of supported packages.)
When writing to a package with an ODBC driver, DBMS/COPY will create the table.
DBMS/COPY for Windows95/98/NT/2000 can also append records to an existing table
or replace a table.

DBMS/Copy For Unix
DBMS/COPY for UNIX, with its ability to directly read and write
PC data, beautiful X-Windows interface and support for native
file formats, will be your software connectivity standard.
X-Windows and User Friendly
When we moved DBMS/COPY to the UNIX world, we were determined
to make it as easy to use and as powerful as our popular Microsoft
Windows version. The database viewer, variable information
window, equation builder, data information, spreadsheet grabber
and ASCII data dictionary builder have all been implemented
in our X-Windows version. Interactive transfers are so easy,
you will probably never open the DBMS/COPY manual! Of course,
the manuals are on-line and there is context sensitive help.
(There isn't even a DBMS/COPY for Unix manual. You just
use the DBMS/COPY for Windows manual. The dialog boxes
might look different but that's all.)
Read and Write PC-Data
DBMS/COPY for UNIX directly reads and writes the packages supported
by DBMS/Copy for Windwos. Want to convert a Paradox file into
S-PLUS for Sun? DBMS/COPY for Unix will convert it in one
step. How about transferring a SAS/Sun dataset into a Lotus
spreadsheet? DBMS/COPY for Unix converts it in one step.
With DBMS/COPY Version 7, you can directly read and write Excel
V5, V97, and V2000 files.
NOTE, ODBC is a Windows concept and not supported in Unix.
We have optional add-on drivers for Oracle, Sybase, Informix,
and DB2.
SAS Transport Eliminator!
How do you transfer data between SAS on different computers?
Do you run SAS on one computer to build a transport file and
then run SAS again on the other computer to read that transport
file? Did you know that DBMS/COPY for UNIX will directly read
and write SAS for PC, Windows, OS/2 and UNIX? In one step
you can transfer a SAS for Windows file into a SAS for UNIX
file. Not only that, you don’t have to run a PC program
to get the job done. The one step is all done on your UNIX
computer.
Read Native Unix Data
DBMS/COPY for Unix reads and writes the following Unix based
packages: SAS, S-PLUS, SPSS, Stata, Gauss, Systat, BMDP and
Minitab. Optionally, the following SQL databases are supported:
Oracle, Sybase, Informix and DB/2. We are committed to making
native UNIX package support as comprehensive as possible.

System Technical Requirements
DBMS/COPY Version 7.0 is available for Windows 95/98/NT/2000.
DBMS/COPY for Unix is available for Sun Solaris, SunOS4, HP/UX, IBM/AIX, DEC/Unix,
SGI and Linux.
