Introduction to SAS/ACCESS Interface to OLE DB

For available SAS/ACCESS features, see OLE DB supported features. For more information about OLE DB, see your OLE DB documentation.

Microsoft OLE DB is an application programming interface (API) that provides access to data that can be in a database table, an email file, a text file, or another type of file. This SAS/ACCESS interface accesses data from these sources through OLE DB data providers such as Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle.

Note: SAS/ACCESS Interface to OLE DB is not included with SAS Viya.
