You can't do on Oracle either, because very few (if any) companies use Oracle on OS/390 to run their business (even though they have managed to sell a few hundred licenses). I once asked Oracle for references of Oracle on OS/390. They gave a list of 5 Fortune 100 companies. When I called the companies to get a reference, no one of the companies was actually using it.
