What is the "oracle client"

[Quoted]         I'm currently developing a system that uses BEA Systems WebLogic [Quoted] server. BEA says that, if I want to be able to connect to an oracle database [Quoted] on another server (which is the way we want to do it), then I need to have a "full version of oracle client running."

        I've searched all over oracle's website, and I can't find diddly about any Oracle client. Does anyone know what this is, or what it's really called or [Quoted] where I can obtain it?

        Specifically I'm having this problem where I can't connect and I keep getting errors about the linker being unable to load "OCI.dll" which I cannot [Quoted] find anywhere on the machine that is running weblogic.

        Any help would be greatly appreciated
