I need to write an SQL procedure that can access data in an Oracle DB and insert it into an already exisiting SQL 2005 table. I have never had to extract anything from an Oracle DB, so I'm completely clueless on how/or if this can be done. Is it possible to connect to an Oracle DB using a SQL procedure?

Yes it is possible, people around the world does it all the time.
Research "Linked server" and "Open query".

If this is a one time thing, or rare thing, you could use the data import wizard in SQL Server to do it. Otherwise, I agree with Paul's advice. Openquery or Linked Servers can help you.
