Alternatively, a DBMS client can submit DBMS commands that reference SQL stored procedures. These stored procedures translate the request into commands that the SAS servers that are running on the DBMS head node execute. Again, when these SAS jobs reference SAS formats, scoring models, or procedures that run inside the DBMS, they execute on the DBMS data nodes. The capability for SAS servers to run inside the DBMS results in a very powerful and flexible environment. SAS solutions are built on top of these servers. These solutions can be deployed on the DBMS head node along with the SAS.
