Although a FoxBase front end for Oracle would seem feasible, it's perhaps
less than 50% likely to happen, since Fox is bringing out their own
SQL server software (see the latest issue of InfoWorld); so they'd hardly
want to directly support a competing product.  Oracle in theory could
prepare a front end of their own in FoxBase, but there hasn't been any
hint of this happening as of yet.  4th Dimension and Hypercard, which
have (or are soon to have) front ends for Oracle, don't have the same
product complications as FoxBase.

Incidentally, it may not be too long before you see 4th Dimension 
front ends for Sybase SQL servers...
