EViews 5 Enterprise Edition is an enhanced
version version of EViews 5.The Enterprise Edition
contains all of the features of EViews 5 plus support for ODBC,
and support for the proprietary data formats of several commercial data
and database vendors.
The Enterprise Edition allows direct access
to ODBC1 database or queries and provides transparent connection
to Standard and Poor's DRIBase2, Haver Analytics DLX3,
and FAME4 format databases. The familiar, easy-to-use EViews
database interface has been extended to these data formats so that you
may work with foreign databases as easily as native EViews databases.
1ODBC short for Open DataBase Connectivity, is a standard
database access method. With ODBC support, EViews Enterprise Edition allows
users direct access to standard databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL
Server, IBM DB2, or Sybase. (For a more technical definition see http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/O/ODBC.html.)
2The DRIBase system is a client server system used by DRI
to provide databases at the client site which can be kept current by remote
updates. Customers can also use DRIBase as a means of storing their own
databases in an Sybase or Microsoft SQL Server system (http://www.globalinsight.com).
3The Haver database format is a binary format used by Haver
Analytics when distributing data (http://www.haver.com).
4The FAME format is a binary format written by FAME database
products. FAME provides a variety of products and services for working
with time series data (http://www.fame.com).
