The Storage Part of ZODB is abstracted out of ZODB (as well as the rest of
the components). It was done so as to enable different storage backends to
ZODB. I suggest you take a look in the ZODB directory at the different
example Storage modules provided. I have no idea how easy it would be to
use Oracle as backend, but if you don't require versions I expect it would
be manageable.
