Only way to do it from within PostgreSQL would be to write a function in
a language that can connect to Oracle, such as plperl. There's been talk
about extending dblink to support connecting to other databases, but I
don't think anything has actually happenend on that front.

If solutions outside the database are acceptable then you have more
choices, though most of them are commercial.
