Hi everybody!!!
I'd like to know there is a Oracle version that I can install on FreeeBSD unix system or its should be installed like linux version? I mean that I heard that I need to do some linux invierment in freebsd system before I can install it?
Thanks for your help
Before you can install Oracle, you need to set up a proper environment. This document only describes what to do specially to run Oracle for Linux on FreeBSD, not what has been described in the Oracle installation guide.
I know it's somewhat of a surprise, but both FreeBSD and Oracle have progressed since Oracle 8.0.5 days (1997). Internals, configuration, and hardware are different. We are now in the Oracle 11.2.0.x time frame.
IF you can match up the system calls, then you can 'make it work'. But that does not mean you would want to, as any production hiccup would be on your shoulders, not Oracle's.
FreeBSD is a kernel not used in any extant operating system with the sole exception being Apple's Mac OSX so you are heading, full speed ahead, toward disappointment. FreeBSD handles many things very differently from the UNIX System 5 standard so you can not just kludge your way into this.
What fascinates me about your request is why you care. FreeBSD is going nowhere at a staggeringly fast pace. And to the same place as went Oracle Database version 8.0. Obscurity.
Install Oracle's Enterprise Linux and you will have a real operating system in less time than you've spent monitoring this thead. And as an additional value it will support the Oracle technology stack while you are still young enough to use it.
THanks for sharing this info its really good
I just want to know where can I get Oracle's Enterprise Linux and if its free or I should pay some license for download it
Thanks!
