There should not be any problem with using ODBC into Oracle and then generating SQL or whatever and doing the processing. (I have a program called Daisy, which reads tables in Oracle and then displays them in interesting ways.)
The easiest way to test ODBC, is to use the Microsoft Desktop Connectivity to connect VB to a simple Access of dBase table on your own machine. Once you have done ODBC for one database, they all should work.
Note the shoulds above. With Daisy, we have no trouble with most databases, but there are upmteen versions of the ODBC drivers and some don't work.
