sas - 是否可以从 SQL 客户端访问 SAS 数据集？

Question

我们有在 SAS 中创建和存储的数据集。我很好奇是否可以从远程 SQL 客户端访问这些数据集。为什么？使这些数据集在我们的组织内更广泛地访问。

Answer 1

Yes, you can license a product called SAS/SHARE that includes something called SHARE*NET. This is a very useful product that typically is installed in a BI server environment but I suppose it's possible to run on a local desktop.

Basically, you "register" SAS libraries to a service which then makes the data available to external clients over ODBC. This makes the data sets available as "tables" for applications like Excel, so I'm sure you can use other clients as well.

The SAS ODBC driver itself does not require a license, but the SAS/SHARE software does. I use it to make data available to many users who do not have direct access to my UNIX server.

Answer 2

这可能通过 SAS/ACCESS（或类似的东西）实现，但 SAS 数据集通常无法被第三方软件理解。
