True; to enlarge on that, think seriously about what sort of reporting you will
need so that you will be able to do all the grunt work via sql passthrough
rather than pulling vast quantities of data back into sas. Doing things the easy
way for sasusers, i.e. using access to create views of each db2 table and
treating them like sas datasets for merges, datapulls, etc. is a very very very
slow way to go.
