No, but it makes life very easy.

If you want to do it on the cheap, you can use pipes to
feed data from oracle into a data step.

Version 8 SAS access cuts out a lot of programming
and even allows you to move table back and forth between
SAS and Oracle using drag and drop. You can also access
data from Oracle into SAS using ODBC,

Hope this helps,

Philip
