Hi,
First oracle has to be running somewhere so it's not like with access.
You will have to create a datasource on the design machine for connecting to oracle during design fase. For connecting from your webpage there are different methods depending on the programming language:
php -> oci8
asp -> I guess odbc
jsp -> jdbc drivers
Oracle is a tricky thing to connect to because you'll have to install the client part of the database on the server that's running the webserver otherwise connecting will be very difficult if not impossible.
How this is done depends on your OS. Under linux installing and configuring Oracle is a b*tch. Under windows it's somewhat easier.
Detailed instruction depend therefore on your configuration on the webserver and on the programming enviroment you use.
your choice of webserver also is important because it will require some extra eactions to get things working (I use Apache and had to set several enviroment variables to get it working right).
As you can see it is impossible to give you the instructions you ask for because of the sketchy information you provided about your enviroment
