Subject:      SAS connection to Oracle

I've been experimenting with the SAS ODBC connection to Oracle and have been
having troubles with the Oracle end of the connection (can't get a 32-bit
Oracle
driver installed).  In reading through the PROC SQL documentation, I see that
you
can also state:
 
PROC SQL;
CONNECT TO ORACLE (db=x);     instead of CONNECT TO ODBC
 
Does this mean that I can connect to Oracle without using the odbc
administrator?
 
If so, how do I need to set this up?
 
Thanks for any help you can offer.
