| Choosing the Right Procedure |
In the second maintenance release for SAS 9.2, Base SAS procedures have been enhanced so they can process data inside the Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW). The in-database procedures are used to generate more sophisticated queries that allow the aggregations and analytics to be run inside the database. These in-database procedures all generate SQL queries. You use SAS/ACCESS or SQL as the interface to the Teradata EDW.
The following Base SAS procedures have been enhanced for in-database processing.
| Procedure | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| PROC FREQ in Base SAS Procedures Guide: Statistical Procedures | produces one-way to n-way tables; reports frequency counts; computes test and measures of association and agreement for two-way to n-way cross-tabulation tables; can compute exact tests and asymptotic tests; can create output data sets. | |
|
PROC
MEANS |
computes descriptive statistics; can produce printed output and output data sets. By default, PROC MEANS produces printed output. | |
|
PROC
RANK |
computes ranks for one or more numeric variables across the observations of a SAS data set; can produce some rank scores. | |
|
PROC
SUMMARY |
computes descriptive statistics; can produce a printed report and create an output data set. By default, PROC SUMMARY creates an output data set. | |
