Yes, just install the Forms 3.0 Runtime support (Forms Development if developing) and Sql*Net on the PC (of course you will also need a TCP/IP package installed for the OS you are using as a client).

No, the actual database does not have to be on the PC. Just connect to the host DB using Forms/Reports/Sqlplus and SqlNet. The tables you are referring to would be stored in the host DB on your unix box.
