Hello Experts,
How can I defining a primary key on a table in PROC SQL? Under "My Libraries" I choose a table's columns, all I see a property and value. How can I defining the primary and/or foreign key of a table.
Describe table table_name gives me nothing but columns' property and value.
I tried describe table constraints table_name and it said table_name does not have any integrity constraints to describe. Which meant it doesn't have primary/foreign key, right?
thank you.
SAS is not a database system. So you do not need to define primary or foreign keys.
For clues as to what variables might be considered the unique identifiers for a dataset you could look at the SORTED BY attribute. Or see if any INDEXes have been created.
Otherwise refer to any documentation that you have received along with the data.
