The LIBNAME Statement for Relational Databases 4 LIBNAME Statement Syntax for Relational Databases 91connection information (user name, password, and data source) that is provided in theembedded LIBNAME statement.proc sql;create view sasuser.myview asselect dname from oralib.deptusing libname oralib oracleuser=scott pw=tiger datasrc=orsrv;quit;Note: You can use the USING LIBNAME syntax to embed LIBNAME statements inSQL views. For more information about the USING LIBNAME syntax, see the PROCSQL topic in the Base SAS Procedures Guide. 4Assigning a Libref with a SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME StatementThe following statement creates a libref, MYDBLIB, that uses the SAS/ACCESSinterface to DB2:libname mydblib db2 ssid=db2a authid=testid server=os390svr;The following statement associates the SAS libref MYDBLIB with an Oracledatabase that uses the SQL*Net alias AIRDB_REMOTE. You specify the SCHEMA=option on the SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME statement to connect to the Oracle schema inwhich the database resides. In this example Oracle schemas reside in a database.libname mydblib oracle user=testuser password=testpasspath=airdb_remote schema=hrdept;The AIRDB_REMOTE database contains a number of DBMS objects, includingseveral tables, such as STAFF. After you assign the libref, you can reference the Oracletable like a SAS data set and use it as a data source in any DATA step or SASprocedure. In the following SQL procedure statement, MYDBLIB.STAFF is thetwo-level SAS name for the STAFF table in the Oracle database AIRDB_REMOTE:proc sql;select idnum, lnamefrom mydblib.staffwhere state=’NY’order by lname;quit;You can use the DBMS data to create a SAS data set:data newds;set mydblib.staff(keep=idnum lname fname);run;You can also use the libref and data set with any other SAS procedure. Thisstatement prints the information in the STAFF table:proc print data=mydblib.staff;run;This statement lists the database objects in the MYDBLIB library:proc datasets library=mydblib;quit;
