Oracle error ORA-03114 means "not connected", for what it's worth.

You're probably running into a Wine bug.

One common source of problems (for Visual Basic apps, at least)
is OLE.  You could try installing DCOM98 and see if that helps.
(See http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=ishield for how.)
You'll need to run your app like:
  WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n" wine myapp.exe

Let me know if this helps.
