The full blown Oracle RDBMS server has a standalone Java installer (the Oracle Universal Installer) and the Oracle DBA's are accustomed deploying it this way. On the other hand the Oracle installation tutorial in the FreeBSD ports could use some "freshening up" for newer versions. I will look into installing Oracle RDBMS after finishing up the OracleXE port(s). Regards, Adrian.
