Can I use SAS/ACCESS Interface to Vertica in SAS university VM

[siddarthk]

Hello,

I am trying to connect Vertica using SAS university edition.

Build date: Apr 14, 2014, 3:08:43 PM

SAS Mid-tier release: Apr 14, 2014, 3:07:54 PM

SAS release: 9.04.01M2P07232014

SAS platform: Linux LIN X64 2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.x86_64

Site name: SAS University Edition

Site number: 70068118

As this is 9.04 release, I believe it should be able to connect to Vertica instance. But when I am trying to create a connection I am getting the below error.

Code:

libname sample VERTICA server="192.168.xx.xxx" port=5433 user=dbadmin password='XXXXXXXX' database='vmart';

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

42 ;

43 libname sample VERTICA server="192.168.72.128" port=5433 user=dbadmin password=XXXXXXXXXXX

44 database='vmart';

ERROR: The VERTICA engine cannot be found.

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

Can someone guide me with this connectivity?

Can I use ODBC DSN for this connectivity? If yes can someone share me the steps.

Siddarthk, I apologize for not seeing this earlier.

This is an old thread, but it deserves an answer. Hopefully, it will help Google find the answer for others.

The University Edition does not include ACCESS engines.
