Explicit pass-through with "insert"

Hello,

is there an explicit pass through equivalent for:

Insert Into stage.Table Select * From SASLib.Table;

using SAS/ACCESS to ODBC?

Thanks&kind regards

Not really.
If you have the necessary permission you could load a temporary table first, and then issue the insert from an execute block.
But why?

.. because the SQL-name exceeds 32 characters (the easy solution is of course to change the names on the SQL-server).

...and there's indeed a valid reason.

If that's an option, reducing DBMS name length will help interoperability in the long run.

Another option would be creating views, if your DB support those for insert operations.
