You could look at alternative ways to connect to Oracle, although some of them might lock you into using just Oracle and would make porting to other RDBMS more difficult:

1. ODBCExpress (http://www.odbcexpress.com) is a set of ODBC-based components for Delphi that bypass the BDE entirely and get very good reviews from the folks who use it (I don't - yet, maybe).
2. Direct Oracle Access : you can download an evaluation copy of this set of Delphi components calling the Oracle API directly from the Delphi Super Page (http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/delphi).
