SAS/ACCESSのご紹介 「SAS/ ACCESS」とは、SASと他のベンダーのデータストレージサービスを連携するインターフェースです。下記のような特徴があり、様々なデータストレージサービスとの連携を支援しています。 シームレスで透過的なデータアクセス (Seamless, transparent data access) 柔軟なクエリ言語のサポート (Flexible query language support) パフォーマンスチューニングオプション (Performance tuning options) 性能最適化機能 (Optimization features for better performance) より詳しい情報はこちらをご参照ください。 様々なデータストレージベンダーの中で、今回は「SAS/ACCESS INTERFACE TO SNOWFLAKE」を使って「Snowflake」というサービスに連携してみたいと思います。* Snowflakeの設定はこちらを見て事前に行いました。 3.
