STSCI 5060 HW5

(Due: 12/7/2023)

This homework is composed of classroom/lab practices. It is important for your final project. When
coding, you should mark different components appropriately and leave at least one blank line
between different code sections. Your code should start with the following comments:

/* Fall 2023 STSCI 5060 HW5 */


/* Student Name: First_Name Last_Name */
/* NetID: */

For each question, you should start something like below to mark the beginning of
a question and every output.
title "Question 1";
title2 "Output 1";

Important:
• Only use the data files that I posted on the course website for this homework. Do not use
the built-in SAS data sets since these may have been modified already.
• Create a libref called orasas to store all your files.

You should wait after all your code is working and run it to produce an HTML output at once for
your submission. You should produce the following:
• your SAS code (HW5_LastName_FirstName.sas),
• your HTML output (HW5_HTML_LastName_FirstName.mht),
• your SAS log file (HW5_SAS_log_LastName_FirstName.txt) and,
• the screenshot from Question 5 (in PDF or MS Word format).

1. Use the LIBNAME statement to create a libref called myora to associate with the Oracle
database you created before. In order for you to have the same tables as others for this
homework, you are required to run the CREATEPVFC.SQL script at the beginning; refer to
Lab 2 if needed. From the Customer_t table find all available information of the customers
who live in New York and Pennsylvania; sort your result first by state and then by name.
Then you update the Customer_t table by adding a new customer with the following data:
customerid=100, customername= Cool Furture, customeraddress=123 Lake Side Drive,
customercity=Ithaca, customerstate=NY, and customerpostalcode=14850. Display the whole
table to confirm the update, and sort your result by customerid in descending order.
Disassociate the libref you created.
2. Use the SQL Pass-through facility to connect to the Oracle database you created earlier by
assigning an alias called “myconn.” Your goal is to create a SAS dataset in the orasas library.
First, use the EXECUTE…BY statement to create a table called PTF_t in your Oracle database,
which is the inner join of the customer_t and order_t, containing the following columns:
customerid, customername, customerstate and customerpostalcode. Then, copy the PTF
table from Oracle to the orasas library. Finally, display the new PTF_t table in the orasas
library. You should disconnect from the myconn connection before quitting.
3. You will be using the Oracle command line interface, Oracle SQLDEVELOPER, and SAS 9.4 to
do the following practice (Questions 3-6). For how to save your files in the Oracle command
line interface, refer to early lab session instructions. In your own Oracle account, create and
populate a large DBMS table called Rawmaterials_t by running the script “Mariterials.sql”
available on the course website (you are required to add a SAS comment at the beginning of
this SAS code showing the SQLPlus commend for running this script). Check the number of
rows inserted into the Rawmaterials_t table by running query containing the COUNT()
function. Do this within SAS through the SAS LIBNAME statement method. You just report
the number not the contents of the table.
4. In SAS 9.4, create a SAS data set, Rawmaterial, in the orasas library containing the same
contents as the Rawmaterials_t table in your Oracle database using the LIBNAME statement
and a PROC SQL procedure. Then use a PROC PRINT procedure to display your result. You
should only report the first 10 rows of the dataset.
5. From within SAS create an Oracle table called “cheapoak_t” which is saved in the same
Oracle account by using a PROC SQL procedure through querying the Rawmaterial dataset in
the orasas library. The cheapoak_t table contains all the Oak materials whose standard
prices are less than $500. Display cheapoak_t in SQLDEVELOPER and capture a
SQLDEVELOPER screenshot. Next, you create a new connection named myora in the
Connections panel and just show the first 10 rows.
6. Use in-database processing and PROC SORT to sort Rawmaterials_t by
materialstandardprice then by materialid and output your result to a SAS dataset in the
orasas library. Was the in-database processing actually used by SAS when PROC SORT was
executing? Use PROC PRINT to display the table contents. You should only report the first 10
rows of the dataset.
