Absolutely.
One note: ORACLE7 on OS/2 ships w/ SQL*Net v1, so you'll need   to run v1 on Netware as well.

No.

Yes. You can run forms 3, menu 5, reportwriter, etc... for OS/2 on the same   machine as the database and connect to that database. You can run 16-bit   and 32-bit OCI or Pro*C apps vs. the database as well. In addition, if   you get a product called SQL*VDM, you can run Windows programs [like the   CDE tools] in win-os/2 on the same machine as the database.

Also, there is a standalone ORACLE7 Database for OS/2 product that is the   same as the ORACLE7 Server for OS/2 product, except without the SQL*Net   drivers and listeners.
