You appear confused.
The DBDs are drivers for DBI; analogous to hardware drivers for your OS, they
tell DBI how to talk to your database and work within DBI's standard
interface. You don't use DBD::Oracle (or any other DBD), you use DBI with the
DBD::Oracle driver plugged into it. You need both to do anything with DBI.
The complete documentation on the DBI interface is in `perldoc DBI` (including
how to select the Oracle driver). `perldoc DBD::Oracle` will share
Oracle-specific things.
