Most ODBC drivers that I've seen still punt the request to an Oracle
networking client.

So yes, if you get ODBC drivers that came from Oracle, you still need to
install Oracle's SQL*Net, or Oracle Networking on the client that is
ocmpatible with the version on the OpenVMS.

Depends entirely on your business security model, If you want a remote
chance of detecting who accessed the Oracle database, then you probably
want per-individual userids.
Unless you already have the disks, it is likely going to be difficult to
fing the client software that will be compatible with a 7.3.2 version of
the database, since that version has been long desupported. (I assume you
do not have Oracle Support contract, otherwise you would have upgraded to
at least 7.3.4). IMO, your best hope is to find the local Oracle User
Groups and ask around there.
