SAS Federation Server can
be managed with the use of various DDL statements and SQL commands
or through the SAS Federation Server Manager user interface. SAS Federation Server Manager
provides dialog boxes and wizards that guide you through the completion
of a task, without requiring that you know the FedSQL
commands required to perform the task. If you are not familiar with FedSQL
and federation, you might want to use the SAS Federation Server Manager,
which is intuitive and easy to use. If you are already familiar with
SQL or FedSQL, you might prefer to
use the Administration DDL statements presented in
Appendix 1. Most of the functions performed with administration DDL,
can be accomplished using SAS Federation Server Manager.
