Hi there

You have to have any kind of oracle installation either server or client to access the oracle database. You could use ODBC though to access your database through Excel or other application.

From DB Server You could do "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl start" and all client can access SQLPLUS through web Browser. No need to install any client side software at all.

If you've limited resources you can install Oracle XE, that's web based application for Mobile and other small devices.
