I searched, and the only posts I could see about running Drupal on Oracle are 18+ months old. Has anything changed since then? Has Drupal had the ANSI and Oracle keywords changed? Has anyone written the interface? I happen to have PHP+Oracle experience, but not enough time to fix everything.

We are using ANSI sql. I don't think that many oracle keywords were changed, though. The interface was also not written, AFAIR.

Interface?
What interface needs writing? I saw a bunch of discussions about PEAR DB and its failings with CLOBS. This is most peculiar since I've been using it quite successfully with CLOBS since Oracle 8i (now with Oracle 10g).
Clearly table & column names need tweaking. My suggestion would be to use defines for these so that the vagaries of each new database only requires a column name mapping.
Other than that there should be little that needs changing I would think.
Look at database.mysql.inc
Look at database.mysql.inc and database.pgsql.inc. We do not use PEAR anymore.

Oracle support
