Should be able to use the Win32 API call CREATEPROCESS to create a new process to run a script to access an Oracle database. STDOUT can also be piped to a file for processing by the calling program to see what the results of the script were. It's also fairly easy spawn a thread to watch the process and see when it terminates. Or even kill it when the process is taking too long and is possibly hanging.

VB you say? Then again maybe not. If you were using a proper development language like Delphi or C++ instead of that trash called VB....
