If you mean the OLEDB driver then you can buy a 3rd party driver that doesn't require the client. However all Oracle or MS Supplied drivers require the client.

I'm interested as to what the reasons are for saying installing a client is a bad idea, I can't see any reasons not to install the appropriate client for the RDBMS I am using.
