If you do not specify a port, the default is 5480.USER=Netezza-user-namespecifies the Netezza user name (also called the user ID) that you use toconnect to your database. If the user name contains spaces ornonalphanumeric characters, you must enclose it in quotation marks.PASSWORD=Netezza-passwordspecifies the password that is associated with your Netezza user name.

You can also specify READ_ONLY with theREADONLY= alias.DSN=Netezza-data-sourcespecifies the configured Netezza ODBC data source to which you want toconnect. Use this option if you have existing Netezza ODBC data sources thatare configured on your client. This method requires additional setup—eitherthrough the ODBC Administrator control panel on Windows platforms, orthrough the odbc.ini file or a similarly named configuration file on UNIXplatforms. So it is recommended that you use this connection method only ifyou have existing, functioning data sources that have been defined.LIBNAME-optionsdefine how SAS processes DBMS objects. Some LIBNAME options can enhanceperformance, while others determine locking or naming behavior. The followingtable describes the LIBNAME options for SAS/ACCESS Interface to Netezza, withthe applicable default values.
