We've done a few different things in the past. 1. If the fields in the .dbf match your Oracle table exactly, create a delimited text file and then SQL*Load it. 2. If you have to do some re-mapping, use something like Delphi to read a .dbf record, re-format it and write it to the Oracle table. 3. If you want to do the mapping at the Oracle end create a table in Oracle that matches the .dbf, create a delimited file and SQL*Load the data, then use Forms or just PL/SQL to re-map the data into the real Oracle table.
