Hi All,
I have a column which has a Image URL. I would like to write a SAS Stored Process which will give me the actual image from the corresponding Image URL in a new column "Image". Is this feasible in SAS Stored Process?
Thanks in advance!!!
Does your database support storing images in a column? AFAIK SAS does not natively but many DBs support this option.
Hi Reeza,
I have the image URLs stored in Netezza DB. It allows storing of URLs in columns

Unless I'm mistaken, your question seems like you're asking to store the image, not the image URL? Does Netezza support image type columns?
If that's incorrect, what are you trying to do?
Using PROC HTTP to retrieve the image seems to be the correct answer.
Use DATA step code to get the desired URL from the Netezza database, store it in a global macro variable, and then use that macro variable in the URL option of PROC HTTP.
