You need the drivers for Oracle, then create an odbc connection. Once you've got that, you can pull data just like in MS SQL. I recommend you install the SQL Developer for Oracle too.

>How will I create the connection, do I need an oracle client installed in my computer before I could connect to the server where the oracle database/table is residing. Am I able to connect if I don't have access rights on the server from the network although I could be able to access the oracle database with admin rights locally. Will the view be updated automatically if the oracle table changes?
