Dear Joe,
I did a quick pass and found out a Knowledge Base article for your
question. This one will tell you how you could access an oracle database on
VB.Net, I will see if we have a .Net CF version of the KB or documentation
for ADOCE.Net that will achieve the same.
Have you seen this article?

Unfortunately there isn't any documented way to connect to Oracle Database
from .Net CF.
Also, there is no OLEDBDATAREADER for .net CF at this point. I saw some
ADOCE Wrapper utilities out there for .Net CF from third parties to access
Remote SQL Server databases and Object Stores but no mention of accessing
Oracle Database though.
FYI ONLY

What does it do? The ADOCE .NET Wrapper plugs this gap by providing
read/write access to Windows CE Databases from the .NET Compact Framework.
You can also access system tables in the Object Store. It supports the full
functionality of the Pocket Access database engine including long Binary
(BLOB) fields. It uses an object model which will be familiar to eVB
programmers while taking advantage of new .NET features such as Data
Binding with the DataGrid control as you would expect from a .NET DataTable
object.
Said that, we don't have this functionality in .Net CF now. I am sorry
about the resolution. If you have any questions, or concerns, send me an
e-mail @ shitalm@microsoft.com.
