The following items are required on a system to use Oracle Provider for OLE DB:

There are 8i and 9 OLE DB providers that should work, but avoid the 10g version. Provider was changed from OraOLEDB.Oracle.1 to MSDAORA.1 due to Oracle Bug #4518457. For more information, refer to http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1499744.
