As far as Ensembl is concerned see:

http://www.ensembl.org/Docs/wiki/html/EnsemblDocs/OraclePortSpecifics.html

I haven't written Oracle Adaptors in bioperl-db, but it should be very
straight-forward. If you read the Wiki above, "porting to Oracle" simply
means converting the schema to an acceptable Oracle schema, and changing
some of the sql statements in the adaptors with a script.
