We use Oracle 8.1.7 with Sun JDK 1.3.1 patchset 5 with JDBC thin. Works pretty well, although it's rather difficult troubleshooting bottlenecks in a RMI/distributed architecture also running Tomcat. There's not a lot of tools in this regard, except for some commercially available stuff, none of which directly support FreeBSD... but in theory work just fine. If you ask me, that's one of the biggest things limiting FreeBSD growth at the moment -- rdms support... even at a tier 2/3 level, on commercial databases. But, it's getting better.
