Overview of SAS In-Database Products

SAS in-database products integrate SAS solutions, SAS analytic processes, and third-party database management systems. Using SAS in-database technology, you can run scoring models, some SAS procedures, DS2 threaded programs, and formatted SQL queries inside the database. When using conventional processing, all rows of data are returned from the database to SAS. When using SAS in-database technology, processing is done inside the database and thus does not require the transfer of data.
To perform in-database processing, the following SAS products require additional installation and configuration:
  • SAS/ACCESS Interface to Aster, SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2, SAS/ACCESS Interface to Greenplum, SAS/ACCESS Interface to Hadoop, SAS/ACCESS Interface to Netezza, SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle, SAS/ACCESS Interface to SAP HANA, and SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata
    The SAS/ACCESS interfaces to the individual databases include components that are required for both format publishing to the database and for running Base SAS procedures inside the database.
  • SAS Scoring Accelerator for Aster, SAS Scoring Accelerator for DB2, SAS Scoring Accelerator for Greenplum, SAS Scoring Accelerator for Hadoop, SAS Scoring Accelerator for Netezza, SAS Scoring Accelerator for Oracle, SAS Scoring Accelerator for SAP HANA, and SAS Scoring Accelerator for Teradata
  • SAS In-Database Code Accelerator for Greenplum, SAS In-Database Code Accelerator for Hadoop, and SAS In-Database Code Accelerator for Teradata
  • SAS Analytics Accelerator for Teradata
  • SAS Data Loader for Hadoop
  • SAS Data Quality Accelerator for Teradata
  • SAS Model Manager In-Database Scoring Scripts
Note: The SAS Scoring Accelerator for SPD Server does not require any additional installation or configuration.
