Understanding SAS® In-Database Technologies on the SAS® Viya® Platform
DM299W : DM299A
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to SAS In-Database technologies, focusing on the concepts and architecture that enable efficient, scalable analytics by processing data within the database environment. You'll explore how SAS Compute Server and SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) support in-database execution, how the DATA step can be accelerated, and how large volumes of data can be loaded in parallel using the SAS Data Connect Accelerator. The course also covers the in-database publishing and execution of models and decisions using code or SAS tools like SAS Model Studio, SAS Model Manager, and SAS Intelligent Decisioning. Deployment considerations for external data platforms are also discussed.
Learn How To
- Leverage SAS In-Database technologies to optimize performance with SAS Compute Server and CAS.
- Accelerate DATA step processing, data loading, and model scoring directly within database environments.
- Use SAS tools and code-based approaches to publish and execute models and decisions in-database.
