Steve,

You can use any data source you want as long as the client eventually  
receives that data in an Exhibit-compatible format. Many people  
manually maintain small static JSON files to contain their exhibit  
data, but there is nothing preventing you from having a URL that  
points to a script that will dynamically construct a JSON file based  
on a query to Oracle or any data source.

So instead your data source being

http://example.org/some_static_file.js

It would be something like

http://example.org/some_dynamic_script.php

That, when accessed, queries Oracle and returns the results in a JSON  
structure that Exhibit can read in (Exhibit can read more than just  
JSON, so you have your choice as to which of these formats is most  
convenient for you).

Is this what you were asking?
Ted
