In the last method by using proc sql,want to know which is the table b on which we are applying an inner join
ReplyDeleteIt's the same table 'test'. We are applying self join here i.e. a table is joined to itself.
DeleteWhy are we applying self join here when a simple query can give the same results?
Deleteproc sql;
select id, product, max(sale) as max_sale from test
group by ID;
quit;
