Actually, I've never used a _local_ database with DCOracle2, so it's very 
possible but, IMO, very underdocumented too. :)

Use this style of connection string (all one line if it wraps):

user/password@(description=(address=(host=10.20.30.40)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=dbsid)))

(changing the values of user, password, 10.20.30.40, and dbsid of course).
