The FreeBSD Handbook contains an article on setting up Oracle (8
IIRC) on FreeBSD. It is somewhat outdated, and all I've noted on
this list regarding setting up Oracle were people who have couldn't
get the thing working according to the article. It just might not
work anymore.
MS SQL Server (I suppose that's what you mean by "sql server") is a
Windows-only application, IOW it does not run on unix.
I don't know about Informix.
You need an ODBC driver to query any DBMS, so provided a server has
an ODBC interface, you should be ok.

There's also Firebird (previously InterBase).
