Database Design

SuperSTAR is designed to provide fast cross-tabulation of large datasets without programming.

In order to use your data in SuperSTAR you need to convert it to Space-Time Research's proprietary column-oriented database format, SXV4. You will use the SuperCHANNEL tool to convert your data to SXV4 format.

This section describes the database design considerations you should be aware of before you start using SuperCHANNEL.
