Biomet Database Tool (BDT)
Change Log
Desription: BDT is a tool that can be used to load, analyze, and visualize data from
Microsoft Access databases and other data files (.mat or text). Funding has been provided
by the US Department of Energy USDOE-TCP Grant #DE-FG02-03ER6384 (T.J. Griffis and J.M
Baker) and the National Science Foundation Career Award, NSF-ATM-0546476 (T.J. Griffis).
BDT comes in two forms,
m-file and
compiled versions.
Both are provided here. The compiled version does require the Matlab runtime environment to run
(
Download MCRInstaller.exe, ~150MB)
and the 32-bit version of Matlab for Windows. The compiled version has been compiled in
Matlab 7.4 (R2007a) using version 4.6 of the compiler. The runtime environment is common
to all compiled Matlab functions so if you have already installed it or have the compiler
you do not have to install it again (unless using an out of date version).
Requirements:
Matlab 7.0+
Database Toolbox (for database related functions)
Windows XP/NT/Vista or Mac OS X or Linux
(32-bit Windows required for ODBC databases)
The requirements listed are what BDT was tested on. Older versions of Matlab and other
operating systems may very well work but they have not been tested.
BDT Filters (BDT_Filters.m)
Description: BDT_Filters.m is a file which contains all the filters used in BDT's Filters
utility. Directions and examples for creating/adding your own functions/filters can be
found by typing 'help BDT_Filters' into the command prompt or editing the file.
Login Dialog (logindlg.m)
Description: logindlg is used by BDT, though is not restricted to use by BDT only, to get
login information for locked databases. The password field replaces everything typed
with asterisks for visual security.
Database Manager (dbmanager.m)
Description: The Database Manager is a tool which allows the user to simply create new databases,
tables, and columns as well as add data. It comes in both
m-file
and
compiled versions.
Requirements: Database Toolbox (m-file version only)
insert2.m (m-file version only)
Template.mdb (both versions)
Database Query Tool (db_query.m)
Description: The Database Query Tool is a versatile function for integrating database into
your scripts and functions while avoiding many of the complexities of database
queries (such as SQL statements).
Requirements: Database Toolbox
