Hi all, I'm trying to learn SAS using books and online resources. I prefer to learn stuff doing something more than just reading or watching videos about them. So I go on Stackoverflow and I try to see if I can answer any question about the thing I'm learning. Of course at the beginning often I'm not even able to understand the questions, but after a while I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Anyway I try to do a lot of google-fu to figure out a solution and I feel it's good to learn even if I get no points on SO. Reading books and watching the videos I saw a lot of SAS commands, but on internet a lot of problems are solved using PROC SQL. Now my doubt is: I know SQL pretty well, how much effort should I put in learning SAS commands? Is it better to use PROC SQL and what I already know or using SAS language is better? and why?
