Book Description


SAS is used for various functions in the development and maintenance of data warehouses, thanks to its reputation of being able to handle 'big data'.


This book will help you learn the pros and cons of storing data in SAS. As you progress, you'll understand how to document and design extract-transform-load (ETL) protocols for SAS processes. Later, you'll focus on how the use of SAS arrays and macros can help standardize ETL. The book will also help you examine approaches for serving up data using SAS and explore how connecting SAS to other systems can enhance the data warehouse user's experience.


By the end of this data management book, you will have a fundamental understanding of the roles SAS can play in a warehouse environment, and be able to choose wisely when designing your data warehousing processes involving SAS.
