ORACLE7 for OS/2 has been available since last May/June, and ORACLE7 for NT   has just gone production and is now shipping.

ORACLE7 for OS/2 comes in 2 flavors: Netware Edition (with SQL*Net SPX) and   Lan Server Edition (with SQL*Net NetBIOS). ORACLE7 for NT comes with SQL*Net TCP/IP and SQL*Net Named Pipes.
