Oracle Spatial works fine in the Linux/UNIX environment for MapServer 3.5. I haven't work on 3.6 yet and I also don't know if it is in the Windows Binary. Perhaps you can try it out by adding a layer in your mapfile that attempts to retrieve data from oracle such as:
LAYER
NAME "name"
CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
CONNECTION 'userid/pw at sid'
DATA "geometry from (select gid, geometry from places)"
TYPE POINT
STATUS DEFAULT
.
.
.
END
Of course its success is not only depending on MapServer but also your web server and Oracle set up.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Oracle spatial connection binary
Hello everyone,
I've been testing Mapserver for some days now and am very enthusiastic about
its usage and performance. I've downloaded the windows binaries from
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32binaries.html and did my tests with
shapefiles. I'd also like to test Mapserver with data from Oracle Spatial
8.1.7. Does anyone know if there is a windows binary available which support
input from Oracle?
If there isn't a binary available I am going to try to compile it on windows
myself. Because it's strongly recommended to use one of the precompiled
binaries I hope there is one with Oracle Spatial input.
Thanks in advance,
Merlijn Simonse
