Performance of sort nodupkey vs sql select distinct

Posted 04-14-2023 05:11 AM (1011 views)

Dear community,

I'm sure I've read posts / articles about this before but don't seem to be able to retrieve them right now ... Is there any systematic performance difference between PROC SORT NODUPKEY and PROC SQL SELECT DISTINCT when one needs to retrieve a list of unique values?

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Anne.
