[Zope] SQL queries?

Zopistas, I'm kinda stressing on this one... Is there any way I can do SQL queries to a remote machine without having to have a DA and Zope instantiated on that machine? I just need to run queries, nothing more than that. (the machine is HP-UX and the database is Oracle 8.0.5.1) Thanks tremendously, -- Ethan "mindlace" Fremen you cannot abdicate responsibility for your ideology.
