READBUFF=1 means that only
one row is retrieved at a time. Oracle defaults to 250, in almost every case
significant performance can be obtained changing that to 1000. For example:


face="Courier New">
color=#0000ff size=2 face="Courier New">

libname


face="Courier New"> ora oracle user=sh pass=sh path=ora10g
READBUFF=

There are two methods by
which to implement data set compression in SAS. The overhead of uncompressing is
negligible compared to the I/O performance gains.



style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo1"

style="mso-list: Ignore">·
style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">        
Data Set Option – manually
add an option to each Data Set that you create to compress it. For example DATA
A (COMPRESS=YES); SET X; RUN.  In DI
Studio, simply go to the options tab of the table to set the option.



style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo1"

style="FONT-FAMILY: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol">
style="mso-list: Ignore">·
style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">        
System Option – the other
method is to set a system option COMPRESS=YES. When you set the system option
ALL SAS Data Sets are compressed. We recommend using the system option to insure
that all data sets are compressed.

class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle>NOTE: While
compress doesn’t improve RDBMS performance it improves the I/O interactions
between SAS and the RDBMS.

class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle>NOTE:
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> 
Not only can you compress your SAS Data
Sets but Oracle and other RDBMS also support Table level Compression. Oracle
table compression not only saves disk space, it also helps to increase cache
efficiency since more blocks can now fit in the memory. To do this you simply
need to pass an option when you create the table. For example data

style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">ora.myOraTbl(DBCREATE_TABLE_OPTS=COMPRESS).

Use Bulk Loaders when you

DI
Studio has made bulk loading easy. The Loader transform loads data into tables
using both inserts, updates and bulk load operations. to invoke the bulk loader
simply set the option BULKLOAD = YES. The loader also provides RDBMS specific
options, for example with the Oracle loader you can do direct path loads simply
by setting the direct path optoin BL_DIRECT_PATH=YES.



style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt 56.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2"
class=MsoListParagraphCxSpLast>In SAS code,
face=Calibri>SAS has made it simple BULKLOAD=YES will invoke the bulk load
utilities for most RDBMS. Each SAS/Access Engine provides RDBMS specific loader
options for example to get the best performance with Oracle use the
BL_DIRECT_PATH=YES option to perform a direct path load.
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> 
Here are the three most common examples
of bulk loading:

Gather, Collect, and Analyze
Table Statistics! The number one performance problem relational database (RDBMS)
is the lack of table level statistics for the RDBMS’ SQL optimizer. SAS
contributes to the problem because SAS makes it so easy to create tables; users
often overlook the gathering of optimizer statistics. You must gather statistics
periodically for table objects where the statistics become stale over time
because of changing data volumes or changes in column values. New statistics
should be gathered after a tables data or structure is modified. For example you
should gather statistics after any of the following:



style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1"
class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle>
style="FONT-FAMILY: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol">
style="mso-list: Ignore">·

After loading a significant number of rows into a
table.



style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1"

statistics on the average row length.

Note: a
best practice is to simply have an administrator setup a scheduled job to gather
schema statistics periodically.

One more tip to add to Mike's list: When faced with the need to perform a heterogeneous join between Oracle and some other database (SAS, SQL Server, DB2, etc), utilize the following features of the SQL Join transfsormation:

1. "Upload Library Before SQL"
2. "Use Bulkload for Uploading" - Yes
3. "Pre-Upload Action" - Truncate

These options should be applied to the smallest table in the join so that it is uploaded to the database of the larger table prior to join. The join can then occur completely on the host database, taking advantage of indexes and partitioning, while avoiding having all the data pulled down to SAS, which can be very expensive.

Thanks,

I think you are asking about color coding in the code editor? If so, this should be on by default, but if not, go to Tools/Options/Code Editor, and check the "Document coloring" option. There are other interesting options in there as well that you might be interested in such as line numbers on/off, autoindent, key assignment, and other nice features.
