Several platform independent methods are available (which don't require
a native Oracle client library), although I cannot speak from personal
experience. I'm guessing you won't be very happy with these, but they
do exist.
- Java JDBC thin client
- iSQL*Plus -- "iSQL*Plus is a light weight, web enabled version of
SQL*Plus released as beta version for Oracle 8.1.7" -- so all you need
is a HTTP client.
- roll your own - write a program on the database server to listen on a
network socket, accept your message (SQL string) and run it locally, and
return the result (not very good for any but the most simple queries,
due to formatting and datatype issues).
Oracle 8i is obsolete and not well supported any more.
