To be honest I think this is too big a subject for a forum response - my advice would be to get in touch with your local SAS office who should be more than happy to get you on the right path.

There are two SAS products that enable you to connect with MS SQL Server: SAS/ACCESS to SQL Server or SAS/ACCESS to ODBC. To get either of these products you need to talk to your SAS Account Manager first as @ChrisBrooks suggests. He can organise a software order for you which will contain the instructions on how to download the software - you won't find this openly available to download.
