Executive Summary:

Yes, No problem, http://www.zope.org/Members/isalsberg/how-to_OracleDA

Gory Bits:

Zope has a range of Database Adapters
http://www.zope.org/Products/external_access

Installing some of them is not for the faint of heart.

There are two Oracle DAs:
http://www.zope.org/Products/DA/ZOracleDA
http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2

The second is a beta release and offers LOB support. I haven't tried
it yet - I've just spotted the NT version seems pre-compiled so I'll
that a whirl before rolling up by sleeves and getting beaten up
by Linux again.
