Data access in SAS data
management includes the following technologies:
These access technologies
help organizations that struggle with accessing and integrating diverse,
large, or unstructured data. Data access includes the ability to read,
write, and update tables or individual records in relational databases.
Native text file importers are also provided for delimited, fixed
width, and multi-length text files. Finally, the capacity to work
with non-structured and semi-structured data such as XML, message
queues, web services, and extracted data is included in the appropriate
SAS data management applications. These data access capabilities work
to speed the creation of reports and the preparation of data to run
analytics for making better decisions.
Other applications such
as SAS Data Loader for Hadoop, SAS Data Integration Studio, and DataFlux
Data Management Studio (part of the SAS Data Quality bundle) use these
technologies to support their data connections. See
Other Applications That Connect to Data for more information.
