Personally, I don't know orcale.
However, how would you normally import the data? Is it like a text file with SQL statements, or a CSV file or something?
If there is a tool for orcale that supports reading the data from STDIN, you'll be able to use [b]zcat to cat the compressed data and pipe it into the import tool.

SYNOPSIS
mdb-export [-H] [-d delimiter] [-R row_delim] [[-Q] | [-q quote [-X escape]]] [-I] [-D format] database table
DESCRIPTION
mdb-export is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.
It produces a CSV (comma separated value) output for the given table. Such output is suitable for importation into databases or spread-
sheets.
OPTIONS
-H Supress header row
-Q Don't wrap text-like fields (text, memo, date) in quotes. If not specified text fiels will be surrounded by " (double quote) char-
acters.
-d Specify an alternative column delimiter If no delimiter is specified, table names will be delimited by a , (comma) character.
-R Specify a row delimiter
-I INSERT statements (instead of CSV). You must specify the SQL dialect.
-D Set the date format (see strftime(3) for details)
-q Use to wrap text-like fields. Default is ".
-X Use to escape quoted characters within a field. Default is doubling.
-N namespace
Prefix identifiers with namespace.
