SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle 4 Overview 719SyntaxHere is the syntax to create a temporary table for which the data istransaction-specific (default):CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE table name ON COMMIT DELETEROWSHere is the syntax to create a temporary table for which the data is session-specific:CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE table name ON COMMIT PRESERVEROWSTerminating a Temporary TableYou can drop a temporary table at any time, or allow it to be implicitly dropped whenthe connection is terminated. Temporary tables do not persist beyond the scope of asinge connection.ExampleIn the following example, a temporary table, TEMPTRANS, is created in Oracle tomatch the TRANS SAS data set, using the SQL pass-through facility:proc sql;connect to oracle (user=scott pw=tiger path=oraclev9);execute (create global temporary table TEMPTRANS(empid number, salary number)) by oracle;quit;libname ora oracle user=scott pw=tiger path=oracle9 connection=shared;/* load the data from the TRANS table into the Oracle temporary table */proc append base=ora.TEMPTRANS data=TRANS;run;proc sql;/* do the join on the DBMS server */select lastname, firstname, salary from ora.EMPLOYEES T1, ora.TEMPTRANSwhere T1.empno=T2.empno;quit;T2ACCESS Procedure Specifics for OracleOverviewFor general information about this feature, see Appendix 1, “The ACCESS Procedurefor Relational Databases,” on page 893. Oracle examples are available.The Oracle interface supports all ACCESS procedure statements in line and batchmodes. See “About ACCESS Procedure Statements” on page 894.Here are the ACCESS procedure specifics for Oracle.
