Alan Churchill 2009-11-10T17:59:04Z 2009-11-10T17:59:04Z <p>When given a choice, always pick OleDB. ODBC is the older access method that was replaced with OleDB. Speed-wise, they are about the same but oleDB has a lot less problems with drivers than ODBC does.</p> <p>Whenever I need the SAS syntax for an OleDB connection, I use my tool called SAS to SQL Converter (only runs on Windows, fyi).:</p> <p><a href="http://utilities.savian.net/" rel="nofollow">http://utilities.savian.net/</a></p> <p>It will call the Windows interface, allow you to make all of your choices and test your connection. It will then write the SAS libname statement for you. Hence, a GUI for doing OleDB connections.</p> <p>Alan</p> http://www.runsubmit.com/questions/39/using-sas-base-to-import-data-from-tables-in-sql-server-using-odbc/40#40 Answer by Alan Churchill for Using SAS Base to Import Data from tables in SQL Server using ODBC? Alan Churchill 2009-10-21T15:33:24Z 2009-10-21T15:33:24Z <p>You need SAS/Access to OleDB or SAS/Access to ODBC. There are ways outside of that but it gets a lot more convoluted. If you absolutely ave to avoid that route, export as tab-delimited and bring it in that way. Formats are problematic. If you know .NET and C#, you can use my libraries to simplify it a bit. XML is also a choice.</p> <p>My SAS dataset reader is not ready so it isn't an option right now.</p> <p>Alan</p> <p><a href="http://www.savian.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.savian.net</a></p>
