 In this webinar I'll show two universal SAS programming methods for reading and writing to/from many types of database tables: SQL pass-through and the SAS ACCESS LIBNAME method. To emphasize the commonality of this across database systems,  I will demonstrate these methods for several diverse data source and focus on the consistency of the SAS syntax that makes it easy for SAS users to apply these methods to any required database. General performance considerations and efficiency techniques will be discussed. If there are any specific questions you'd like me to address for this talk let me know by responding to this thread.
