I wonder why you ask, though. Do you plan to use Oracle for some specific real world purpose? Are you simply trying to learn about Oracle? Are you just curious about the lack of Oracle for FreeBSD? Here is some background to help you understand the requirement: i was conducting a system administration session for some IT admins and managers, here in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. One of the folks has a PostgreSQL on FreeBSD setup running since last 4 yrs without any issues. They have recently received Oracle database server and need to set up on Windows 2003 server. Since the folks have prior experience with FreeBSD it seemed logical to try and setup Oracle on FreeBSD on IBM x-series server. i was particularly interested since the acquisition dataset growth rate was like 30-50 GB per week, stored on a SAN. thanks Saifi. ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-advocacy-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It's for a much older version, but might be interesting to play with at least. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/linuxemu-oracle.html Tony ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-advocacy-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

So this time, i've taken a two-pronged approach. 1. checking information on vendor sites and with contacts. 2. close analysis of discussions on freebsd-hackers during 2003-2005 time frame. thanks Saifi. ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-advocacy-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
