You can download the ZOracleDA product from zope.org.
I don't know if array-argumented PL/SQl procedures are suported or not. I've
never tried it.
There is an ODBC Zope product, but I am not familiar with it.
From Python you can access Oracle through ODBC, RDO etc. too. These can be
used in external methods, or the COM objects may be accessible through the
COM Zope product.
