Quick Tables Installation Information
Quick Tables provides a simplified user interface for generating
crosstabulations.
The dataset for generating tables must already have been set up
in SDA, using the
makesda program.
This page provides links and examples to assist in the installation
of the SDA Quick Tables application.
Note that in order to run Quick Tables, your server must be running a servlet
container or engine.
An open-source servlet container is
the
Apache Tomcat
application.
Select from the following links:
- View an example of a
Quick Tables application.
This example illustrates what a Quick Tables setup will look like
to the user.
- Read documentation about installing the Quick Tables application
on a server,
configuring Quick Tables for a dataset,
and using "debug mode" to diagnose problems.
- View an example of a
Quick Tables XML configuration file
like the ones that drive the example application.
(XML files are probably most easily viewed using Internet Explorer 5 or later).
- View the DTD for the XML configuration file formatted as HTML
here.
The actual DTD -- which can be copied to your own server and
used for validation --
is available at
http://sda.berkeley.edu/info/sdaconfig.dtd.
Quick Tables was a joint
project of SDA
at UC Berkeley
and ICPSR
at the University of Michigan.
