You could use Java, use the Oracle thin client for Java. (You would include
the library in the program and install the program) Otherwise no, you would
have to install the Oracle client. This is true of all databases, you have
to install that database's driver and client binaries. (MS includes the SQL
Server client automatically with the OS, so it looks like you don't have to
install it, but it is already installed)
