Best Proc SQL book

[Minku]

Hello All,

I'm interested to learn "PROC SQL". Please suggest one best book.

Thanks,

Hello @Minku,

I recommend Howard Schreier's excellent book PROC SQL by Example: Using SQL within SAS® (from which I learned it), especially if you already know some DATA step programming.

Thank you 🙂

The basics of SQL are the same across many languages. 

I would try this tutorial first and then learning a SAS specific version. 

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/

And this paper covers the basics

https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings/proceedings/sugi30/257-30.pdf

There is rarely "one best book"

Thank you

I can recommend PROC SQL: Beyond the Basics Using SAS by @KirkLafler 🙂
