Remotely by using a webservice yes.

Locally , it's theorically possible but you probably have to :

  • have a rooted phone
  • recompile the source code of your DBMS to support the arm architecture (or whatever your phone use)
  • find/create a driver for java (supported by dalvik) which support this DBMS
  • find/create an api for this DBMS

Long story short , you don't want to do that ! It's cleary not a good solution.

And to be honest using DBMS like oracle on a phone , it is like using a rocket launcher to kill a fly ...

Note : you can have a look on this documentation about berkley DB on android

As far as i understand you need local database running on Android. That means MySQL/Oracle are not choice.

As there is only java - you can try to use java based DB. There are few on internet. Of course they have to be ported.

Yes, you can.

You just have to create .php that gonna get informations from the databases and return you a json.

In Android you create a httprequest in wich you target the .php file and analyze the json.
