| Subject | st: Wishlist for Stata 13 - SQL language |
| Date | Sat, 26 Jan 2013 11:59:14 -0600 |
I hope that Stata 13 will have an SQL language that can do conditional merge with if conditions. Right now Stata does not support if in -merge-. SAS is so powerful and convenient in this respect. SAS can do left join, right join, full join, etc. with the observations matched depending on meeting some conditions.
