Subject: Stata compared to SPSS for data management???

We are considering switching from SPSS to Stata as our primary software
package for training graduate students. Can anybody tell me the
limitations/strengths of Stata for data management compared to SPSS. I'm
interested in merging many datasets and in constructing variables,
counts,
means, etc. SPSS' count command and mean.n command are very useful. Does
Stata have an equivalent?
