Oracle in ubuntu

[ubun2warrior]

Hi

Is there any Oracle equivalent in Ubuntu ?

[crush304]

other than oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/index.html) there are the opensource mysql and postgresql

There are many options for databases on Ubuntu. Here is a short list:


Relational Databases

MySQL
PostGreSQL
SQLite (embedded, not client-server)

NoSQL

Cassandra
HBase
CouchDB
MongoDB

Postgres is probably the closet FOSS equivalent. Also Oracle DB itself runs natively on Ubuntu.

Have a look at EnterpriseDB, its built on Postgresql. One of their products Postgres Plus Advanced Server is supposed to be a direct alternative to Oracle and is capable of being the DB platform for applications written for Oracle.
