You will have to use ODBC but you can do this with SQLStringConnect.

lnconn = sqlstringconnect('Driver={Oracle ODBC Driver};dbq=mydb;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword')
   or
lnconn = sqlstringconnect('Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};server=mydb;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword')

The parameters are a little different depening on what ODBC driver you use.
HTH.
