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

The ACCESS Procedure for Relational Databases 4 UNIQUE Statement 905Unlike other ACCESS procedure statements, the SUBSET statement is casesensitive. The SQL statement is sent to the DBMS exactly as you type it. Therefore,you must use the correct case for any DBMS object names. See SAS/ACCESSdocumentation for your DBMS for details.SAS does not check the SUBSET statement for errors. The statement is verified onlywhen the view descriptor is used in a SAS program.If you specify more than one SUBSET statement per view descriptor, the lastSUBSET overwrites the earlier SUBSETs. To delete the selection criteria, submit aSUBSET statement without any arguments.TABLE= StatementIdentifies the DBMS table on which the access descriptor is basedApplies to: access descriptorTABLE= table-name;table-namea valid DBMS table name. If it contains lowercase characters, special characters, ornational characters, you must enclose it in quotation marks. See SAS/ACCESSdocumentation for your DBMS for details about4 the TABLE= statement.DetailsThis statement is required with the CREATE statement and optional with theUPDATE statement.UNIQUE StatementGenerates SAS variable names based on DBMS column namesApplies to: view descriptorInteraction: ASSIGNUNIQUE YES | NO | Y | N;YEScauses the SAS/ACCESS interface to append numbers to any duplicate SAS variablenames, thus making each variable name unique.NOcauses the SAS/ACCESS interface to continue to allow duplicate SAS variable namesto exist. You must resolve these duplicate names before saving (and thereby creating)the view descriptor.
