To use most (if not all) oracle clients, you need the oracle drivers installed on the local machine. For instance, when I am accessing an oracle db using java, oracle provides jdbc drivers. I am not sure about TOra, but when I was using TOAD, I had to install the oracle client ( sqlplus and some other oracle client software ) before TOAD would work. (www.toadsoft.com)

I've got my department's Oracle 9i database running happily on Solaris 9, but I would like to be able to connect to it from home. I've installed TOra on my desktop at home, but that appears to be inadequate. Port 1521 is open on our department's firewall to my home network, so I should be able to get in. And I can tel-net in and run SQL*Plus from the command line just fine.
Anyone know what I'm missing? Is it possible to do this without installing all of the Oracle database software on my box? I certainly have the room for it, but it's still something I'd like to avoid....
