[Quoted] Pro*C is one way to go. You could also use the OCI libraries and just write you own code to connect. I have seen Gnu C work but Oracle of course does not support it. I think Pro*C is the best way myself but I am sure that other people will disagree.

All you need is Pro*C and sql*net V2 installed to create programs. If you want to use the OCI stuff you will have to install the RDBMS as well.
