Hybrid Queries (from Fraktal SAS Programming)

1st Make SAS your SQL interpreter

proc sql;

2nd Connect to the DBMS using your credentials stored in Macro Variables

connect to oracle (user="&DB_USR." password="&DB_PWD." path="&DB_PTH.");

3rd Start your query from inside SAS with a special from clause

select * 
  from connection to oracle

4th Inside brackets use DBMS specific SQL

(
select * 
  from ops$&DB_USR..&MYTABLE.
)

5th Execute the query by issuing the SAS statement terminator ';'

;

6th Terminate connection to DBMS

disconnect to oracle;

7th Terminate SAS SQL processor status

quit;
