The key attributes of the system are speed and ease of use. Supercross can operate on hierarchical data structures such as Census databases where individuals make up families that make up dwellings. Tables can be created counting all or any levels of the database and calculations can be performed across levels such as average number of people per dwelling. Supercross is capable of cross tabulating in excess of 1 million records per second on a personal computer although performance will vary depending on equipment used and type of table being created. The variables can be arranged in any order by dragging and dropping them around the table.
Variables can either be sub-nested or concatenated in tables.
Concatenated variables can be sub-nested with other fields. Two or more tables from different or the same Supercross database can be joined together but Dragging and dropping columns or rows between the tables. A merge and sort is performed on one common access that ensures data integrity. All common calculations can be performed on tables including percentages, averages and sub totals. The calculations can be linked to fields and saved for later use.
