SAS/ACCESS Software for Relational Databases: Reference

Introduction

This chapter introduces SAS System users to Database 2 (DB2), IBM's relational database management system. (footnote 1) DB2 runs under the UNIX, Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 operating environments. This chapter accompanies and should be used with SAS/ACCESS Software for Relational Databases: Reference (order #57204).(footnote 2)

This chapter describes the SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME and data set options that are specific to DB2. It then focuses on the terms and concepts that will help you use the SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2. Finally, it describes the statements that are specific to DB2 that you use in the ACCESS and DBLOAD procedures and in the SQL procedure's CONNECT statement. All platforms may not have all three of these procedures. See the procedure descriptions for further information.

The SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2 uses the Call Level Interface, or CLI. For more information on customizing your SAS application, refer to your vendor-specific documentation on the CLI interface.

FOOTNOTE 1: IBM previously called this product OS/2 Database Manager as well as DB2 for Common Servers.
