Brand new, never before been exposed to SAS. I have run basic web dev platform for years (MySQL, Java). I now find myself with several SAS (.sas7bdat) files that I need to query. I have both a Digital Ocean account and droplets for basic stuff as well as my own dedicated hardware for other stuff. So, several options if I know where to start.
How can I access the data in these files (using Teradata perhaps?, if so how can I set up Teradata) or a some other system that can read the SAS files along with metadata? Feel free to correct my question, scream at me for being over my head, whatever. Just looking for help and how to get started.
