Create TeraData VOLATILE TABLE from SAS

Ronein — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 06:18:02 GMT

Hello

I run the following query in SAS.

This query should connect to TERADATA and create Volatile table (Empty table with no rows).

proc sql;
connect to teradata(server=dwprod schema=DWP_vall authdomain=TeraDataAuth CONNECTION=GLOBAL);
execute
(CREATE multiset VOLATILE TABLE temp1(NAME VARCHAR(10), STATE CHAR(3))
NO PRIMARY INDEX ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS)	by teradata;
execute ( COMMIT WORK ) by teradata;
quit;

My questions:

1-How can I know If the query worked well and the desired violated table was created in Tera?

Here is the Log.

IF it was not created then can you help fix the code?

2- I opened TeraData and run

Select * from temp1

But got error "Object temp1" doesn't exist.

For some instances, the RDBMS can send back a reurn code/message. Check macro variables SQLXRC and SQLXMSG after the EXECUTE block.

Another option to get more detailed feedback from Teradata is to use a libref instead, with DBMSTEMP=YES.

Then you can get detailed feedback in te log by using:

options msglevel=i sastrace=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog nostsuffix;

The downside is that you might be a little limited in how to specify yor table definition.

Hi,

Have you tried examining the automatic macro variable sqlrc? That and other macro variables you can check can be seen in more detail in the documentation: Using the PROC SQL Automatic Macro Variables

Thanks & kind regards,

Amir.

How? Needs to be in the SAME SAS session with a global connection as else the VOLATILE table won't exist.

Creating a table should never require a commit. Changing rows (data) in a table is what needs a commit.

Thanks. Can you fix my code and show the required code to create tera violate table ( code run in sas)?

Re: Create TeraData VOLATILE TABLE from SAS

LinusH — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 11:30:33 GMT

Something like this (untested due to lack of a Teradata connection):

libanme TD_tmp teradata db=dwprod schema=DWP_vall authdomain=TeraDataAuth CONNECTION=GLOBAL dbmstemp=yes;

proc sql;
   CREATE TABLE TD_temp.temp1 (NAME VARCHAR(10), STATE CHAR(3));
quit;
