I could suggest to write some CGI script which will function as gateway between http server and oracle. You can take a look at such gateway at <URL:http://oradb1.jinr.dubna.su/Software/ORALink/>. If you don't need connectivity to other databases, i could recommend to use OCI, since ODBC is a damn slow.

Not yet, to best to my knowledge.
