If you can get them into MS Access, you can export them out through ODBC
to Oracle pretty easy. You'll just need the Oracle driver installed on
the machine you're on, and a valid TNS name to send it to.

If you do go this way, make sure you capitalize your column names and
table names. If you don't you'll have to use quotes when making SQL
statements.. I had to learn the hard way ;)
