Import a Database Table

You can import data from databases such as Oracle, Teradata, DB2, and other databases that are supported with a SAS/ACCESS engine. You can also access data from Salesforce and Hadoop.
To import data from a database:
  1. Select the database name from the list of Server data types.
  2. Specify your connection information, and then click Browse to select the table to import.
  3. (Optional) Review the library and location settings by clicking Advanced and make changes if necessary.
    You do not have access to the Advanced section if you are importing data from the explorer or designer and do not have the Build Data capability. Instead, you can import the data to a general-purpose area or select Store the table in a private location to prevent other users from accessing the data.
  4. Click OK.
The SAS/ACCESS product for the database must be licensed and configured for the SAS Workspace Server to import database tables.
