SAS/ACCESS Software for Relational Databases: Reference

Introduction

The global SAS statement, LIBNAME, has been enhanced to enable you to assign a libref to a relational DBMS. This feature lets you reference a DBMS object directly in a DATA step or SAS procedure without using descriptors. This chapter describes the SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME statement and its options so that you can associate a SAS libref with a relational DBMS database, schema, server, or group of tables and views.

You can also use the New Library window to associate a libref with relational DBMS objects or a SAS data library. For details about how to use this window, see Assigning a Libref Interactively.
