Launch BDE Admin and configure the native BDE Oracle driver to use the correct Oracle DLL (the VENDOR INIT setting the CONFIGURATION tab under \drivers\native\oracle). The dropdown box gives you a list of 7.x DLLs that are supported. If you're unsure which DLL to exist on your PC, look in the \ORAWIN95\BIN directory.

In Delphi, create a TDatabase object, set the DRIVER to ORACLE and use the SERVER NAME (tns alias), USER NAME (Oracle userid) and PASSWORD (Oracle password) settings as parameters for the connection.
