You need to set up a VPN connection between your home router and your work router. Do you administer the IT at your work? If not, you will probably need to request access and be put in a VPN Group. You will then also need to make sure the VPN users have access to the Oracle database. Can you connect directly, or do you need software (like I know M$ SQL has their own Query Analyzer, as does MySQL). If you need this software, do you have another license for your home PC, or will you need to connect to your desktop via RDP (another thing you would need the admins to ensure is allowed) and use that?
