There is a product called Datalens that gives Lotus interactive access to Oracle databases. It seems like it is a Lotus product, but is sold through Oracle, or at least the Oracle version is -- I beleive that there are other versions for other database engines.

I'm not a big fan of Datalens, it's kind of unwieldy to use and is pretty counter-intuitive.

I also have source for a Pro*C program that allows you to dump a table (or view) restricted by clauses into an ASCII delimited file that imports easily into Lotus and most other spreadsheets. Holler if you want it and we'll figure out some way to get it to you.
