What is Strata?
Kirix™ Strata™ is a “data browser” — a fusion of a web browser and a built-in relational database. Strata brings the sensibilities and simplicity of a web browser to the world of tabular data, making it easy to access, view and use data from any source.
What Can You Do with a Data Browser?
Strata serves as a bridge between local data files, database management systems and data on the web. You can access data from local sources and across the web, mash it together, and quickly work with it to gain new insights or create ad hoc reports to share with others.
Strata makes it possible to manipulate and analyze data in a rapid-fire, interactive manner. You can cut out a number of steps for common data-related tasks and dramatically reduce the time it takes to get the results you want. For instance, with Strata, you can:
Browse and use data wherever it is, rather than needing to import.- Bookmark data tables in MySQL and Oracle and view them with a click.
- Create dynamic calculations across a data set, without running a query.
- Link different data sets together and mash up data interactively.
- Create reports quickly with Strata's easy-to-use report writer.
- Develop custom plug-ins for website APIs or web services.
In addition, you can access and manipulate data directly from the web itself, including HTML tables, CSV files and RSS feeds.
