Overview of this book

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.

Questions

  1. Why must raw datasets direct from the data provider be stored in a highly secure area in the warehouse environment?

  2. Why is it better to maintain many modular code files instead of one big long code file?

  3. In a dataset that contains 10 different cost variables, what is the main advantage and disadvantage of naming the variables COST1, COST2, and so on up to COST10?

  4. How is declaring formats in SAS different to declaring arrays?

  5. Why is it logical to assign programmers who already have access to raw data from the data provider used in ETL to also maintain SAS label and format code?

  6. Why is it helpful to have consistent naming conventions throughout the data warehouse?

  7. How is it helpful when senior programmers serve as SMEs for particular datasets?
