I have an oracle table with a period in the name. How do I get the data into SAS? I have tried...
Libname testlib oracle user='xxxxx' password='xxxxx' path='xxxxx' show_synonyms=YES;
data table_without_period;
set testlib.table_name.with_period;
run;
And I have tried...
Libname testlib oracle user='xxxxx' password='xxxxx' path='xxxxx' show_synonyms=YES;
data table_without_period;
set testlib.'table_name.with_period'n;
run;
And I have tried...
Libname testlib oracle user='xxxxx' password='xxxxx' path='xxxxx' show_synonyms=YES;
data table_without_period;
set testlib.'table_name.with_period'n;
run;
What comes back?
Have you tried
proc sql;
connect using TESTLIB;
create table WANT as select * from connection to TESTLIB (
select * from table_name.with_period
);
quit;
