SAS/ASSIST Software

Improved Performance Through the Use of Metadata

SAS/ASSIST no longer accesses your data sources every time you build a task. Instead, when SAS/ASSIST starts, it examines your data sources and stores metadata about the available tables and columns for the duration of your SAS/ASSIST session. You can also request current information about a data source at any time.

When you are using SAS/ASSIST to access a data warehouse or a DBMS on a remote computer, these enhancements improve performance considerably.
