You can't. Oracle has never released a static version of
the Oracle client libs for any version of Windows, be it
3.1, 95 or NT(ORA*.DLL files). Ever since day one on
Windows, the client libs have been dlls.
Also:
It's not just the ORA*.DLL file, etither, If you do a
dunpbin on an ORA*.DLL file you'll see that they
depend on COR*.DLL and NLS*.DLL.
