Nope, you could do it with any sql based database unless your forms have
protection built in.  Thankfully our WEB guys did that by accident.  Namely when
they accept a data value they have certain rules that they apply to all fields,
like max length, no unlimited length fields, comment data manipulated via
procedures.  It's rather easy, but you have to design it that way.

Today I've seen two white papers on a technique called SQL Injection
for exploiting databases via web pages.  One of the papers was pretty
much a step by step tutorial on how to reverse engineer data
structures and have your way with a SQL Server database via ASP pages.

Both papers were ASP/SQL Server centric.  But in my quick reads, I
didn't see anything that made me think it would not work against many
HTML forms backed by CGI scripts hitting Oracle databases that I've
seen.

Am I missing something?
