In PROC SQL by Example: Using SQL within SAS, author Howard
Schreier illustrates the use of PROC SQL in the context of the SAS
DATA step and other SAS procedures (such as SORT, FREQ, MEANS,
SUMMARY, APPEND, DATASETS, and TRANSPOSE) whose functionality
overlaps and complements that of SQL.
Using a side-by-side approach, this concise reference guide
includes many extensively explained examples showing equivalent
DATA step and SQL code, enabling SAS users to take advantage of
existing SAS skills and knowledge while learning about SQL.
Discussions cover the differences between SQL and the DATA step as
well as situations where SQL and the DATA step are used together to
benefit from the strengths of each.
Topics addressed include working with joins and merges; using
subqueries; understanding set operators; using the Macro Facility
with PROC SQL; maintaining tables; working with views; using PROC
SQL as a report generator; and more.
This text is ideal for SAS programmers seeking to add PROC SQL
to their SAS toolkits as well as SQL programmers striving to better
integrate the SAS DATA step and SQL.
