PROC SQL SELECT is an atomic SAS lesson inside PROC SQL. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on PROC SQL SELECT rather than on generic SAS syntax.
Topic-specific example

Try It Live
proc sql; select id,name from work.users where active=1; quit;
Edge case / engineering note
For PROC SQL SELECT, inspect the SAS log as well as the output data set; type conversion, missing values, and BY-group ordering can change results without stopping execution.
