data step modify - performance

Patrick — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 22:44:34 GMT

Someone (I believe it was @SASKiwi ) posted some time ago (> 1 year) a really great performance comparison with graphs and everything between different methods for updating a SAS table. I can't find this post anymore 😞

Does one of you remember this post and could point me to it?

No guilty your Honour! I think it may have been my mate @ChrisNZ.

@SASKiwi

Thanks! Very possible. My brain seems to have stored: Someone across the Tasman 🙂

The third edition is now out, so I should probably contribute another article with some of the new contents.

I'll do that in the next few weeks,
