why odbc dataset can't show detail

[Mike_Davis]

Hello everyone,

If a dataset was signed from an odbc,when I right click the dataset in explore of SAS, it can't show how many rows and waht is the create date. why?

Thanks!

[Linlin]

did you use

schema=dbo; ?

[Mike_Davis]

Just right click my mouse on the  dataset,I just add a picture,you can see it.

Thanks

[Linlin]

below is my libname statment:

libname x odbc dsn=**** uid=**** password=**** schema=dbo;

can you see a screen like the attached screen shot? if so you can click the columns tab.

Hi Linlin,

The column tab only show informaton of column,I want to check how many rows in the dataset and the create date.

these informations locate at general tab.

The best way is entering the DataBase(DB2 Sybase ...) your ODBC connected and use their SQL to query these information. Can you connect with the Administrator of these database ?

run

option details;

Chris,

I don't think it can check the size or create-time of the table.

[ChrisNZ]

You might be right.

It works with oracle so I assumed it worked for most common sas/access engines.

Mike can you confirm when you have tried?

Hi Mike,

I Guess you cannot get created date information using base SAS for odbc library,but you can get this information for sas datasets.

If you want to know create date information you can login to sqlserver and properties you will get that.

Hope this helps...

Thanks,
