There are too many possibilities to list here so I'll focus on the easy ones
because you implied that you had a need for only a minimal client:
First, Oracle has something called an Instant Client that you can download
for free http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html.
The site says:
"Instant Client allows you to run your applications without installing the
standard Oracle client or having an ORACLE_HOME. OCI, OCCI, Pro*C, ODBC, and
JDBC applications work without modification, while using significantly less
disk space than before. Even SQL*Plus can be used with Instant Client. No
recompile, no hassle"
Oracle provides more stuff; you just need to look around their website.
Then there are a number of open source JAVA clients which is what I would
use. http://java-source.net/open-source/sql-clients. I've used the
SQuirreL SQL Client before and it is decent. However to use these you need
to install JAVA and the Oracle JDBC drivers.
