On a Mac? I don't believe Oracle still distributes (or builds!) 68k binaries for *any* operating system.

I think I could probably get Oracle7 to run on NetBSD/i386 if I could only get the damned installer to run under emulation. The SVR4 version is pretty flexible about not using features we don't have, like async io. But I don't know where you'd get 68k binaries...
