I doubt it. From what I understand, audio books are primarily made from best-selling fiction. What non-fiction audio books exist are probably limited to stuff with the broadest general appeal (best-sellers).

I've personally never heard of technical books on tape/audio CD. However, you might be able to make your own, rather tediously, if you receive a PDF version along with a "dead tree" technical book.

Copy-paste the text from the PDF to your word processor of choice.
Use text-to-speech software to creave WAV files
Burn to CD.

Or, you may want to purchase some Oracle Computer-Based-Training CDROMs and burn the audio tracks to an audio CD(if they're in a standard audio format or a format you could convert to WAVs) - or convert and download to an MP3 player. That's probably your best choice, though an expensive one.
