SPD Server Extensions to Base SAS

You can access SPD Server by using an SQL pass-through CONNECT statement, or you can issue a SAS LIBNAME statement. After connecting to SPD Server, you can run SAS DATA steps, SAS procedures, or PROC SQL statements.
The SPD Server Administrator's Guide and the User's Guide provide syntax and examples that use SPD Server extensions to Base SAS language. Most of your existing SAS programs work in SPD Server with only minor modifications.
SPD Server extensions to the Base SAS language include:
  • new LIBNAME statement options
  • SPD Server SQL pass-through syntax
  • new table options
  • new macro variables
  • parallel WHERE clause processing
  • parallel GROUP BY processing
  • BY data grouping
  • parallel index creation
  • PROC SPDO, an operator interface procedure
