While SAS does provide some elements typically present in database systems (like integrity rules), it is not a replacement for such.
But you do not need a DBMS to run successfully; in fact it has been my experience that running SAS with only its native table format is more efficient.

SAS does not rely on an external DBMS. SAS tables are stored as files.
But you can connect SAS to a DBMS (with the respective SAS/ACCESS module) and use its tables as if they were stored in SAS.

I think someone would require your definition of "database" to know if that would be wrong or not. That definition might have to very detailed because you may be covering a lot of areas.
