Performing Queries Using SQL
Specifying the Table


After you write the SELECT clause, you then specify the table to be queried in the FROM clause. Simply type the keyword FROM, followed by the name of the SAS table.

     proc sql;
        select id,lastname,netpay,grosspay,
               grosspay*.06 as bonus
        from emplib.payroll
        where netpay>25000
        order by lastname;
The PROC SQL step above queries the permanent SAS table Payroll, which is stored in a SAS library that is assigned the libref Emplib.
