22 Using Name Literals 4 Chapter 2proc sql dquote=ansi;connect to oracle (user=testuser password=testpass);create view myview asselect "Amount Budgeted$", "Amount Spent$"from connection to oracle(select "Amount Budgeted$", "Amount Spent$"from mytable);quit;proc contents data=myview;run;Output from this example would show that Amount Budgeted$ remains AmountBudgeted$ and Amount Spent$ remains Amount Spent$.Using Name LiteralsThe following example creates a table using name literals. You must specify the SASoption VALIDVARNAME=ANY in order to use name literals. Use PROC SQL to printthe new DBMS table because name literals work only with PROC SQL and the DATAstep. PRESERVE_COLUMN_NAMES=YES is required only because the table is beingcreated with nonstandard SAS column names.options ls=64 validvarname=any nodate;libname mydblib oracle user=testuser password=testpass path=’ora8servr’preserve_col_names=yes preserve_tab_names=yes ;data mydblib.’Sample Table’n;’EmpID#’n=12345;Lname=’Chen’;’Salary in $’n=63000;proc sql;title "Sample Table";select * from mydblib.’Sample Table’n;Output 2.6DBMS Table to Test Column NamesSample TableSalaryEmpID# Lname in $-------------------------12345 Chen 63000Using DBMS Data to Create a DBMS TableThe following example uses PROC SQL to create a DBMS table based on data fromother DBMS tables. You preserve the case sensitivity of the aliased column names byusing PRESERVE_COL_NAMES=YES. A partial output is displayed after the code.libname mydblib oracle user=testuser password=testpasspath=’hrdata99’ schema=personnel preserve_col_names=yes;
