| Subject | st: Reading large data sets in Stata |
| Date | Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:35:46 -0800 (PST) |
Dear Statalist Users,
I have a large data set with 48249390 observations (rows) and 37 variables (columns). I am currently using SAS 9.1 to work on this data set. I want to use Stata/MP to work on this data set. I have version 11.0/MP (dual core). Could anyone please let me know a computer specification (i.e. hardware specifications) that will enable me to work on this data set with Stata 11.0? I need to enter the data, generate variables, sort, etc. Thanks in advance for the help.
Best Regards,
Jibonayan
