- CRConrad 5y ago> SAS is a query language, so it has a lot in common with SQL, though it's much more powerful. Well, as I recall it, it's more of a database management / software development package with an integrated data manipulation language (the original one, among the at least three "languages" it contains) to make new datasets based on existing ones. Yes, as an imperative Turing-complete language that's much more powerful than SQL, but it carries with it a huge overhead in the form of the whole rest of the system. Not to mention the lock-in.
