you can use web service, there is no direct connectivity between the oracle and drupal, as it uses mysql for database.

Drupal 7 natively supports MySQL, Postgres and sqlite. There is contrib modules for MSSQL Oracle and possible other database backends.

Possible

I think database layer is abstracted in D7. You should be able to connect directly to Oracle. You will however face a fair share of unknown problems though.

There is also this module that you might try: https://drupal.org/project/oracle

If the data to be transferred is not much and fairly straightforward, you can use a web service.

thanks

Drupal 7 is compatible with oracle using the oracle module.
I had successfully implemented an ecommerce site using oracle 11g.

Why Oracle ?

Hi Arulselvan,
1. Why Oracle? Is it part of some other larger system architecture? Ideally you should go in for using a fine tuned LAMP stack as Drupal has been primarily built with an assumption that it would be hosted on such a LAMP stack. First you need to answer this question.
2. If still you need to go ahead with Oracle, then Drupal does not natively support Oracle as a part of its core, but there is a module that can be installed for Drupal to work with an Oracle database backend.
You can find it here :https://drupal.org/project/oracle
