This document provides
conceptual, reference, and usage information for
SAS/ACCESS software
for data sources for relational database management systems (DBMSs),
data warehouse appliances, and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
The information in this document applies to all data sources that
SAS/ACCESS software supports.
The
availability and behavior of SAS/ACCESS features vary from one interface
to another. You should therefore consult the information
in both the general and DBMS-specific sections of this document when
working with your particular
SAS/ACCESS interface. You should also
refer to the SAS system requirements and configuration guide documents
that are available at
http://support.sas.com.
This document is intended
for applications programmers and end users with these skills.
-
They are familiar with the basics
of their DBMS or data warehouse appliance and its Structured Query
Language (SQL).
-
If they are using Hadoop, they
are familiar with Hadoop and the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
They have knowledge of fundamental Hadoop library and processing
using HDFS. They are also familiar with the basics of Hadoop, Hive,
and HiveQL. For details, see the Apache Hadoop and Hive Web sites
at
http://hadoop.apache.org and
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive.
-
They know how to use their operating
environment.
-
They can use basic SAS commands
and statements.
Database administrators
might also want to read this document to understand how to implement
and administer specific interfaces.
