Oracle and IBM DB2 Database Servers are quite popular in the World like DBMS. Some companies use Oracle or DB2 Database Servers for data storage and they refuse to use FreeBSD (choose Linux/Windows), because Oracle and DB2 it is not supported by FreeBSD. There is no special packages or ports for it's installation. > At present time we have situation: > a..

Did you ask them? > I hear that it's possible to install Oracle like Linux Binary Compatibility -> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-oracle.html , but it's uncomfortable and somewhat complicated. Special installation ports or package it will be better. We can have only Linux Binary Compatibility for now. Everything may change if one of those would be available as open source. Meanwhile you can visit links you posted and try to find there FreeBSD version or convince them to have one. -- Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
