| How SAS/ACCESS Works |
Introduction to How SAS/ACCESS Works
Note: Not all SAS/ACCESS interfaces support all features.
See the documentation for your SAS/ACCESS interface
to determine which features are supported in your environment. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/61925/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
| Installation Requirements
|
Before you use any SAS/ACCESS features, you must install Base SAS, the SAS/ACCESS interface for the DBMS that you are accessing, and any required DBMS client software. See SAS installation instructions and DBMS client installation instructions for more information.
| SAS/ACCESS Interfaces |
Each SAS/ACCESS interface consists of one or more data access engines that translate read and write requests from SAS into appropriate calls for a specific DBMS. The following image depicts the relationship between a SAS/ACCESS interface and a relational DBMS.
