You need to perform an analysis on a massive dataset by
groups, but are unable to sort the data due to memory
constraint. How would you accomplish the task?
Answer Posted / rock
Before grouping the dataset first compress the dataset
using compress=yes option whicle creation of dataset like
data x(compress=yes reuse=yes);
set y;
run;
proc sql;
select --- do the grouping now
Sure that sorting will take less time. Try this once
Main trick here is we are compressing the unused space in
dataset so the size of the dataset will get reduce.
