Yes, the VW port has Oracle support, which could be pulled over very
easily.  The problem is finding a reasonable way to connect to an
Oracle database from Squeak.  Because the ODBC lib uses FFI, it's
synchronous - your whole VM will hang while you wait for the results
of a query.  What I've done in the past is build a simple Java app
that accepts queries on a socket, uses the JDBC driver to get results,
and then sends them back, but this isn't terribly performant either. 
A proper Oracle plugin would be great, if anyone has time or money for
one...
