If you want to use the Oracle ODBC driver, you'll have to install the Oracle client software. Same goes for the Oracle OLEDB driver.

It may be possible to use the Microsoft OLEDB for Oracle driver with the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver without installing the Oracle client, but I'm not sure on that.
