Does any one know how to insert only "new" row to the existing table with in SAS PROC SQL ?
proc sql;
create table class as
select *
from sashelp.class
where sex = 'F';
quit;
proc sql;
create table classm as
select *
from sashelp.class
where sex = 'M' or Name = 'Alice';
quit;
proc sql;
insert into class
select *
from classm ;
quit;
The insert statement does not allow me to use where statement to insert only 10 new row from classm ( without Alice )
Is there a way to go around this ? Because I'm working with big data I would like to do this with in proc sql , or data step is fine.
Thanks
This worked for me...
proc sql;
create table class as
select *
from sashelp.class
where sex = 'F';
quit;
proc sql;
create table classm as
select *
from sashelp.class
where sex = 'M' or Name = 'Alice';
quit;
proc sql;
insert into class
select *
from classm
where name^="John";
quit;
why not use the merge?
you sort your two tables by the columns who are the reference (id) and the merge the two tables with the selected keys.

SQL> create table justlike(customerid varchar(19),first_name varchar(40),last_name varchar(100),Address varchar(50),city varchar(30),pincode varchar(10),state varchar(20));
Just use:
desc <table_name>;
This will print the description of your table columns
in your case:
desc justlike;
You can always check the table definition, in case you are using Oracle, by running below query -
SELECT * FROM USER_TAB_COLS
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'JUSTLIKE';
OR you can write a select on table itself -
SELECT * FROM JUSTLIKE;
I want to make something like this work in proc sql:
proc sql;
%connect_to_sql_macro;
create table sql.table as
(
select some_id, date from connection to oracle
(
select some_id, date, row_number()over(partition by some_id order by date) as row from dataset d join sql_table s on d.some_id=s.some_id
) where row=1
Basically i need to create table in oracle based on dataset joined with oracle table and take the first date for each id.
If i use "from oracle" pass through it doesn't see the dataset, if i make it the other way around i can't use window functions(row_number()) becouse they are not in SAS. For now i create a table from that dataset and then do a pass through but it's large and i need to do it in one go. Any suggestions?
You're probably better off doing it in SAS.
Can be done in one step too
libname lib <oracle connection options>;
proc sql;
select some_id
,date
from dataset d
inner join lib.sql_table s
on d.some_id=s.some_id
group by some_id
having date=min(date)
;
quit;
or
proc sql;
%connect_to_sql_macro;
select some_id
,date
from dataset d
inner join (select * from connection to oracle (
select * from sql_table
)
) s
on d.some_id=s.some_id
group by some_id
having date=min(date)
;
quit;
Also, limit as much as you can the amount of records that are being read from the oracle table.
I want to create a stored procedure using the table from Oracle and want to access in SAS EG.
I have below code .
create table xyz as
select * from (
select a,b,c,d
from table_name
)
pivot (MIN('X') for Variable_name in (
'PQR' as PQR, 'PGT' as PGT, 'KLD' as KLD,
'opd' as opd
)
)
order by Variable_name;
Is it possible to make this table as stored procedure? And if not then please suggest solution.
If I'm understanding your problem correctly you should be able to do this using SQL pass-through. You will just need to specify the Oracle database in the libname statement in SAS which will look something like this:
libname mydblib oracle user=user_name password=pw path='myoracleserver';
You can then access this using proc sql in SAS.
proc sql;
connect using mydblib;
create table xyz as
select * from connection to mydblib (
select * from (
select a,b,c,d
from table_name
)
pivot (MIN('X') for Variable_name in (
'PQR' as PQR, 'PGT' as PGT, 'KLD' as KLD,
'opd' as opd
)
)
order by Variable_name
);
quit;
This code creates the table xyz in your SAS work library.
I am new to PL-SQL. I do not understand why I am getting the error "PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement"
What I'm trying to accomplish is to create a variable c_limit and load it's value. I then want to use that variable later to filter data.
Basically I am playing around in the demo db to see what I can/can't do with PL-SQL.
The code worked up to the point that I added "select * from demo_orders where CUSTOMER_ID = custID;"
declare
c_limit NUMBER(9,2);
custID INT;
BEGIN
custID := 6;
-- Save the credit limit
select credit_limit INTO c_limit
from demo_customers cust
where customer_id = custID;
select * from demo_orders where CUSTOMER_ID = custID;
dbms_output.Put_line(c_limit);
END;
If you are using a SQL SELECT statement within an anonymous block (in PL/SQL - between the BEGIN and the END keywords) you must select INTO something so that PL/SQL can utilize a variable to hold your result from the query. It is important to note here that if you are selecting multiple columns, (which you are by "SELECT *"), you must specify multiple variables or a record to insert the results of your query into.
for example:
SELECT 1
INTO v_dummy
FROM dual;
SELECT 1, 2
INTO v_dummy, v_dummy2
FROM dual;
It is also worth pointing out that if your SELECT * FROM.... will return multiple rows, PL/SQL will throw an error. You should only expect to retrieve 1 row of data from a SELECT INTO.
Looks like the error is from the second select query.
select * from demo_orders where CUSTOMER_ID = custID;
PL-SQL won't allow a standalone sql select query for info.

You need to do some operation with the second select query
How to create table from view?
view named A -> table named A
I find only proc sql and data set statements, but is there any native function in sas?
/* create a table as a copy of data from view by SQL ... */
proc sql;
create table A_COPY as select * from A;
quit;
/* ... or by DATA step */
data A_COPY;
set A;
run;
/* Delete the view A
and rename the table to original view name */
proc datasets lib=work nolist;
delete A / mt=view;
change A_COPY = A / mt=data;
quit;
EDIT:
you can retrieve the code that created either a DATA step view or SQL view to LOG by "describing it":
data A /view=A;
set sashelp.air;
run;
data view = A;
describe;
run;
proc sql;
create view A as select * from sashelp.air;
describe view A;
quit;
