Has anyone out there used SQL, in conjunction with Visual
Basic, on an SQL-server to manipulate and analyse large
data sets (too big for a PC package) for statistical
purposes?
If so, could you tell me about any problems you might have
experienced particularly with respect to versatility and
use of more sophisticated statistical techniques? Also how
such a system might compare with a basic Fortran + flat
files on a VAX approach?
Any useful comments gratefully received.
Thanks,
Chris.
