SAS/ACCESS: An Interface to ORACLE
Shelly Sapp, Cleveland Clinic
SAS/ACCESS software provides an interface between the SAS system and various database management packages.
This interface consists of an access descriptor which holds the essential information about the structure and
attributes of the database table and a view descriptor which defmes some or all of the data described by the access
descriptor.
This tutorial will focus on the basics of creating access and view descriptors via the menu and the PROC ACCESS
procedure. A macro will also be presented which creates access and view descriptors. The ORACLE database
management system will be used to demonstrate SAS/ACCESS.
This paper will be distributed at the conference. Please contact the author for a copy.
