SAS/ACCESS 9.2 for Relational Databases: Reference, Fourth Edition

Data Set Options for Relational Databases 4 DBCREATE_TABLE_OPTS= Data Set Option 299SyntaxDBCONDITION="DBMS-SQL-query-clause"Syntax DescriptionDBMS-SQL-query-clauseis a DBMS-specific SQL query clause, such as WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, orORDER BY.DetailsYou can use this option to specify selection criteria in the form of DBMS-specific SQLquery clauses, which the SAS/ACCESS engine passes directly to the DBMS forprocessing. When selection criteria are passed directly to the DBMS for processing,performance is often enhanced. The DBMS checks the criteria for syntax errors when itreceives the SQL query.The DBKEY= and DBINDEX= options are ignored when you use DBCONDITION=.ExampleIn this example, the function that is passed to the DBMS with the DBCONDITION=option causes the DBMS to return to SAS only the rows that satisfy the condition.proc sql;create view smithnames asselect lastname from myoralib.employees(dbcondition="where soundex(lastname) = soundex(’SMYTHE’)" )using libname myoralib oracle user=testuser pw=testpass path=dbmssrv;select lastname from smithnames;See Also“DBINDEX= Data Set Option” on page 303“DBKEY= Data Set Option” on page 305DBCREATE_TABLE_OPTS= Data Set OptionSpecifies DBMS-specific syntax to add to the CREATE TABLE statement.Default value: the current LIBNAME settingValid in: DATA and PROC steps (when accessing DBMS data using SAS/ACCESSsoftware)DBMS support: Aster nCluster, DB2 under UNIX and PC Hosts, DB2 under z/OS,Greenplum, HP Neoview, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Netezza, ODBC,OLE DB, Oracle, Sybase, Sybase IQ, Teradata
