Since you're obviously someone in touch with many-things-Oracle, please
allow me to ask one other question (maybe "family of questions" would be
more accurate):
In my quick perusal of the "Server Suite" product literature, I see
mentioned that Oracle7 Server is part of the deal (or at least an option).
Does this mean that Oracle has a *BSD port of Oracle7? Or, do they use an
SCO version running with ibcs2 emulation?
(Or, maybe they mean for you to do database stuff with a separate box...
say, a Sun ?)
---> The _real_ question that I'm looking for an answer to is, if I wanted
to run an Oracle database on FreeBSD, what is the optimum
approach? I'm sure this is a FAQ, but when I've dug around
the list archives in the past I've not gotten far.
Thanks,
---
