Hi Arpit,

f you use the LIBNAME Statement to connect to the database, you can choose either the DATA step or PROC SQL to process data. However, if you choose the Pass-Through Facility to talk with the database, PROC SQL is your only choice.

The Pass-Through Facility enables you to interact with a data source using its native SQL syntax without leaving your SAS session, a definite advantage.
and enables you to send DBMS-specific SQL statements directly to a DBMS for execution.

Thanks
