Are SAS/ACCESS to Hadoop include in SAS Data Loader, or there are two different apps?

[Rodgers_125]

Hello experts,

I'm studying how can Hadoop is integrated with SAS, and I read that SAS Data Loader is responsible for extract data to or into Hadoop. But I read the same thing about SAS/Access for Hadoop. 

Anyone knows if it are the same thing or have different goals?

Thanks!

They are not the same thing.

SAS/ACCESS is a data bse engine that leats you read/create data in an external RDBMS (like Hive) from a SAS session, using SAS code, like SQL, data step and procedures.

Data Loader is a package, with an application that lets you do data management stuff via a UI.

Not sure if SAS/ACCESS to Hadoop is included in that package, but similar functionality definitely is.

And there are more functionality available in the Loader, like in-database processing (which could be purchased as an add-on to a regular SAS/ACCESS license).

Check the product pages for each product as support.sas.com, they are quite informative.
