The only possibility I know is to use the JDBC-Driver for java. There are different versions of it on the net. Some of them are dependent of the Oracle Call Interface which has
to be installed in the machine. The JDBC-Thin-Driver is 100% pure Java-Code and does not need any additional software. You get it on the Oracle-website / free software download.
I wrote several small Programs (log-services etc.) which post data to my Oracle 8.0.3 server running under Netware. You only need this JDBC-thin-Driver and the Java-SDK for Linux.

Hope that helps
