In-Database Processing in SAS

An exciting enhancement to SAS was included in SAS version 9.2.  In this release the SAS/Access product was enhanced to enable in-database processing.  The new in-database technology allows select procedures to process inside of the database.  This technology allows the programmer to use the power of SAS while leveraging the scalability and processing power of the database platform for select procedures.
