-DBAX is a database utility program for communicating with a SQL database. It was designed to map XML data files to database tables and vice-versa, and to provide a generic XML-based web-service for database access. However, it can also move data in simple text column format into and out of database tables (or XML table files). DBAX itself is not a database program -- it simply acts as a user-interface for accessing a database (e.g. Postgres).  At a minimum DBAX expects that a database has already been created and a SQL-server is running for that database.+DBAX was designed for organizing imaging data (e.g. MRI) and related behavioral or clinical data, into a relational database. DBAX is a utility program for communicating with a standard SQL database. It was originally designed to provide a simple interface for mapping XML data files (or Excel-type table files) to database tables and vice-versa; this makes it easy for users to specify their own table structures and then import data into the database without doing any database programming. DBAX also provides a generic XML-based web-service for database access; this allows other programs to interact with the relational database simply by sending XML commands via a web interface.
