There are some performance issues with use of multiples views and CTEs in the same SQL query.Also, using SAS for analysis and Exadata for data extraction poses various challenges as data types and formats are different in Exadata then in SAS. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Exadata Cloud Service:** The improvements are huge over the legacy database but Exadata is not a complete data extraction and analysis tool. SAS will still be required. **What problems is Oracle Exadata Cloud Service solving and how is that benefiting you?** Moving from legacy databases like SAND which were very slow and took ages to retrieve data, Exadata saves a lot of time in generating reports. ### 44.
