Problem Note 48170: SAS® Enterprise Guide® tasks do not support in-database processing for tables in libraries assigned using the metadata LIBNAME engine
 |  |  |  |  |
Tasks in SAS Enterprise Guide do not support in-database processing for tables in a library that has been assigned using the metadata LIBNAME engine. The reason is that SAS Enterprise Guide creates a view when it executes tasks against the tables, which means that the query is not passed down to the database.
As a workaround, you can do one of the following:
- Use custom code instead of an SAS Enterprise Guide task.
- Use a SAS/ACCESS engine, instead of the metadata LIBNAME engine, to assign the library.
