Thanks Caleb, that could come in handy. I've already got code for the business layer in another app which I can likely modify and reuse for this. I'm just thinking about creating a pretty, dynamic frontend to show the new boss how smart I am, not that is going to work any better than the current app :-)

So the database will have to sit behind some sort of access layer (typically a WCF Service or ADO.NET Data Services). You should be able to use the same concepts found on http://silverlight.net/learn for accessing SQL data and apply them to your Oracle database. Silverlight doesn't care about the specific database because it can't "talk" directly to it anyways. HTH!

I've got a little idea I want to play around with a bit and some examples may be useful.
