SQL can be used with SAS. We also use Microsoft SQLs, which I still use on occasion. Part of the background is that the coding can be done using SQL. SAS allows you to write SCL statements and is mostly drag and drop, similar to Microsoft Access.
That is the SAS Enterprise Guide's drag-and-drop functionality.

SAS Application Architect at a computer software company
I am currently using this solution for testing purposes. I am working for a pharmaceutical company in Belgium, and we are building a data warehouse by using SAS Data Integration Studio, and we are using SAS Enterprise Guide to test our development. We are building Enterprise Guide projects by using query builder, filters, and other things. We have also built stored procedures. Sometimes, we also write SAS base code to perform unit tests after development and to do some sanity checks to respond to UAT questions. Overall, we are using the majority of functionalities of SAS Enterprise Guide.

It also provides access to data sources (databases that require administrative access) that do not support individual user access.

We make the most use of scheduled processing with Base SAS. If there is an error in one process, the others do not run as well because of possibly one error. Therefore, we now mostly use the Enterprise Guide for such scheduling purposes, so error processes will not inhibit the others.
