SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle is not supported on Linux for x64 when you run 32-bit SAS software.

According to SAS® 9.2 Foundation System Requirements for Linux® for Intel® Architecture, 32-bit SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle is shipped with SAS on Linux for x64.

When you run the 32-bit SAS^® System, SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle requires a 32-bit Oracle client library. Oracle does not support a 32-bit Oracle client running on Linux for x64. Therefore, SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle is not supported when you run 32-bit SAS on a Linux 64-bit platform.

You can avoid this problem by running 64-bit SAS on Linux for X64 with the required 64-bit Oracle client, which is supported by both SAS and Oracle.

Oracle does not support 32-bit Oracle library on the Linux for x64 platform; therefore SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Oracle is not supported on Linux for x64 when you are run 32-bit SAS. With SAS® 9.2, the 64-bit version of SAS is available for this platform, so it works with the Oracle 64-bit client.
