Actually, while Oracle isn't writing one, other companies are. InterSolv is writing an ODBC driver for Oracle Databases that I believe uses our SQL*Net driver. You can contact Intersolv at 800-876-3101 or fax them at 919 859-6593.

I do not know if there are other ODBC -> Oracle drivers although I know that there is an ODBC->DAL driver which can then go to a DAL server which would talk to an Oracle server... don't know who makes it though.

Hope this information help,
