SAS xpt Drivers & Connectors for Data Integration

The SAS xpt driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and SAS xpt, allowing the application to read, write, and update data as if it were a relational database. The SAS xpt driver abstracts the complexities of SAS xpt APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to SAS xpt data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a SAS xpt Driver is different than connecting with SAS xpt through other means. SAS xpt API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain SAS xpt integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our SAS xpt Drivers offer codeless access to live SAS xpt data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live SAS xpt data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to SAS xpt data. We manage all of the complexities of SAS xpt integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to SAS xpt via CData Connect AI. With Connect AI you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to SAS xpt from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to SAS xpt is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when SAS xpt is updated.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with SAS xpt, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData SAS xpt driver offers full-featured SAS xpt data connectivity. The CData SAS xpt drivers support extensive SAS xpt integration, providing access to all of the SAS xpt data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all SAS xpt data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData SAS xpt driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into SAS xpt API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to SAS xpt as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to SAS xpt is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that SAS xpt looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live SAS xpt connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData SAS xpt drivers and connectors, SAS xpt can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live SAS xpt data connectivity.

Additionally, since SAS xpt supported by CData Connect AI, we enable all kinds of new SAS xpt cloud integrations.

SAS xpt Analytics and SAS xpt Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify SAS xpt data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

SAS xpt data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate SAS xpt data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental SAS xpt replication. In addition, our SAS xpt drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate SAS xpt with Excel is by using the CData Connect AI Excel Add-In. The SAS xpt Excel Add-In provides easy SAS xpt integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Our integration offers live bi-directional access to SAS xpt data directly from Excel. Simply configure your connection to SAS xpt from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access SAS xpt just like you would another native Excel data source.
