Accessing an SQL server using the ODBC engine

[Ihsan-Mahdi]

Hello,

I'm trying to access an SQL server using the  ODBC engine. A library is created successfully using different lines of code, however the library has no contents! Any suggestions? Thank you!

Code I used:

LIBNAME SQL ODBC noprompt= "DSN=servername;Description=server description;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=SAS 9.4 for
Windows;WSID=serverID ;DATABASE=mydata";

And
LIBNAME SQL ODBC DSN=servername user=myuser pw=pwd schema=dwems;

Both lines of code above seem to work with no errors/warnings.

How did you check the library contents? Here is one way

proc contents data = sql._all_;
run;

If the contents are still empty then most likely your database and schema settings are incorrect. I find checking this in MS SQL Server Management Studio helpful.

[Ihsan-Mahdi]

Thanks for replying! The way I realized there were no contents in the library was looking at it through explorer and running a proc contents on one of the sets that are supposed to be there.

I ran the code you sent and this is the result:

Directory
Libref SQL
Engine ODBC
Physical Name SERVERNAME
Schema/Owner MYUSER
Server version: 15.00.4280
SQL Driver version: 10.00.19041
ODBC Driver name: SQLSRV32.DLL

So no tables listed? 

[Ihsan-Mahdi]

No! For some reason, I'm not gaining access to the actual data base with all the tables. My DSN connection is there, The ODBC engine is creating the path but it's leading nowhere!

/*
You have to specify schema= option in libname.
Check your schema by the following code:
*/
proc sql;
connect to odbc(dsn= user= pw=);

select * from connection to ODBC(ODBC::SQLTables);
quit;


/*after get schema ,also try assign it by uppercase ,Like:*/
LIBNAME X ODBC DSN=servername user=myuser pw=pwd schema=MYUSER ;

[Ihsan-Mahdi]

Thanks for responding! I have been trying different options with the schema option as the data base I'm trying to access has tables with different schemas. I was only successful in accessing tables with one schema (dbo.) , yet when I select the schema I want I get nothing!

[SASKiwi]

If you are only seeing one schema then most likely this is a database permission problem. Ask your database adminstrator or help desk to check your permissions.

[Ihsan-Mahdi]

I will check thank you. Just to add clarity, I am seeing a few tables just not the ones I want, and I am able to access the tables using a different machine. Would this make a difference?

[SASKiwi]

Are any of the tables you are not seeing have names longer than 32 characters? That's a SAS restriction without a workaround. You can still read them using SQL Passthrough though.

[Ihsan-Mahdi]

Yes, many tables have names with more than 32 characters, but I am able to access them using a different machine. using SQL Passthrough still won't show the tables I need.

These are the tables shown using SQL Passthrough.

The tables I need have the schema DwEms

Can you post the complete code that produced this please, including any LIBNAME or CONNECT statements? As you said only schema DBO is listed.

EDIT: Using your original LIBNAME, try this adding your correct database name (mydata looks suspiciously wrong to me):

LIBNAME SQL ODBC noprompt= "DSN=servername;Description=server description;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=SAS 9.4 for
Windows;WSID=serverID" database = ????? schema = dwems;
