Does Oracle support any kind of client and C/C++ pre compiler for VAX OpenVMS 7.3 to connect to a Oracle server? On oracle.com they only have clients for Alpha and Itanium. I am using a simh VAX. And I have a Oracle 11g express database.

You would need to locate some seriously old Oracle distribution.
Oracle release 7.3.4 is the highest Oracle release supported on VAX;
Oracle releases 9.2 and later do not support connecting with Oracle7. Oracle 7.3.4 may or might not connect to 11G express. I doubt it. For sure anything above 9i was never supported. See Metalink ( 207303.1 ?)
Here is a public place which has a snapshot of the support matrix: http://oracleappstechnology.blogspot.com/2008/09/placeholder_08.html
You can only stretch that vax so far...
