Okey dokey, thank you all for your answers.
It's a bit sad that it's not easier to use XWiki on Oracle :-(
Oracle is a mainstream database that big companies like to use a lot,
and it may be a bit damaging to XWiki and XpertNet's business if XWiki
is put aside just because it doesn't support that database :-(
Couldn't we make sure XWiki is fully supported out-of-the-box on all
major databases?

Hi,
Apparently you should run the latest Oracle JDBC driver (10g). In
certain version (I'm not sure about which) you need an Hibernate custom
type.
You also need to use the backup import/export script to import an XWiki
database in Oracle
A few users seem to be running XWiki on Oracle
