Synopsis

This book introduces advanced techniques for using PROC SQL in SAS. If you are a SAS programmer, analyst, or student who has mastered the basics of working with SQL, Advanced SQL with SAS^(R) will help take your skills to the next level. Filled with practical examples with detailed explanations, this book demonstrates how to improve performance and speed for large data sets. Although the book addresses advanced topics, it is designed to progress from the simple and manageable to the complex and sophisticated.

In addition to numerous tuning techniques, this book also touches on implicit and explicit pass-throughs, presents alternative SAS grid- and cloud-based processing environments, and compares SAS programming languages and approaches including FedSQL, CAS, DS2, and hash programming. Other topics include:

• Missing values and data quality with audit trails
• "Blind spots" like how missing values can affect even the simplest calculations and table joins
• SAS macro language and SAS macro programs
• SAS functions
• Integrity constraints
• SAS Dictionaries
• SAS Compute Server

Dr. Christian FG Schendera is a Senior SAS Data Scientist and managing director at Method Consult in Switzerland. An avid SAS user for 30+ years, his experience ranges from scientific consulting, project management, and feature-engineering to statistical modeling using SAS. He studied at Heidelberg University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. While still a student, he started consulting in statistics and research methods, lecturing on SAS, applied statistics, and the knowledge-shaping role of non-scientific methods. Christian views constructing knowledge as a two-way street: every step from data collection to applying methods will affect results. He has published several books about statistics, data quality, programming, and SAS. He is author of the most comprehensive double-volume about PROC SQL worldwide.
