- A database is a collection of objects that includes tables, views, stored procedures, triggers, and indexes. Each database contains several database system files and data files. Databases are usually created by a database administrator with the SQL command CREATE DATABASE. In most databases, you use the GRANT statement to give users privileges on database objects to users. You can create SAS/ACCESS descriptor files to access the data in the objects, or access the objects directly by using the SAS/ACCESS LIBNAME statement.
