You need to have the connection information, then you can either do it directly or through pass through:

Directly:

proc sql;

     connect to oracle (path=dddd user=aaa orapw=cccc);

     create table work.test as

     select * from connection to oracle (

          select...

           from...

          );

     disconnect from oracle;

quit;

Pass-through:

proc sql;

     connect to oracle (path=dddd user=aaa orapw=cccc);

     execute (drop table A_TABLE) by oracle;

     execute (commit) by oracle;

     disconnect from oracle;

quit;

Just to be clear about the concepts. Both these examples are usually defined as Explicit SQL Pass-thru - you explicitly write native DBMS specific SQL.

You can use SAS programs to access a libref that points to DBMS schema. The part of the SAS logic that the SAS/ACCESS libname engine can transform to native DBMS SQL will be automatically sent to the DBMS for processing. This is true for both SAS SQL, PROC's and Data step, in the later mainly WHERE-clauses. This is known as Implicit SQL pass-thru.
