Jun 6, 2019 · Re: Defining a primary key on a table in PROC SQ. SAS is not a database system. So you do not need to define primary or foreign keys.

But you can add a unique index, which amounts to about the same: proc sql; create unique index prim_key. on aaa(ID,month); quit; The only difference being that unique keys do not require the columns to be NOT NULL. You will have to add constraints for that separately, if you want it.
