Introduction

This chapter describes how to access SPD Server using SAS and an SPD Server SQL Pass-Through Facility or a SAS LIBNAME statement. The chapter demonstrates typical data tasks on an SPD Server host. It discusses how to secure SPD Server resources using PROC SPDO. Power users who have special privileges should see Chapter 21, "SPD Server Operator Interface Procedure (PROC SPDO)" in the SAS Scalable Performance Data Server: Administrator's Guide.
Note: For readability, the SPD Server SQL Pass-Through Facility is referred to as SQL Pass-Through Facility, unless the context requires a more explicit reference. Similarly, when the chapter references a Name Server, it is the SPD Server Name Server.
