JOINS IN PROC SQL

In the dynamic world of data analysis, the ability to merge datasets effectively lies at the heart of uncovering actionable insights. Within the SAS (Statistical Analysis System) environment, the SQL procedure serves as a robust tool for data manipulation, offering a powerful arsenal of commands to streamline the merging process.

Among these commands, the various types of joins — INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, and OUTER — stand as cornerstones for integrating data from disparate sources. Each type of join brings its own unique functionality and nuances, catering to different analytical needs and scenarios.
