You can connect a WebServer to a remote database using SQL*Net/Net8. Thus, the WebServer would be acting like a SQL*Net client to the remote database.
Depending upon which version of the Oracle WebServer that you have, you will need to configure either a DCD (Database Connection Descriptor) or DAD (Database Access Descriptor). This is where you can specify the Oracle SID (if database is local to the WebServer) or the connect string/SQL*Net alias. In your case, you will need to have the SQL*Net/Net8 client software installed on the Solaris machine where your WebServer is. Additionally, you will need to configure the SQL*Net/Net8 files so that you can connect to the remote database server (database and database listener running on NT).
