There is a PostgreSQL server available in Debian, just an apt-get away.
The "Plus Advanced Server" thing seems to be a proprietary product; this
would mean that there is no source, and thus, that it is not possible to
run this on a PowerPC machine.

You could ask EnterpriseDB whether they'd be willing to provide it, but
I doubt they are.

I did so.. a couple of years back... but then they stated there was no  
future in PowerPC.....
and now they have .... more-or-less ..... been bought by IBM... who  
makes Power chips.....

I just wanted to have a free database with the Oracle PL/SQL stuff.....
and Oracle XE is not available for powerPC either....

Anyhow... anyone with experience on running Oracle RDBMS on Debian  
(powerpc) ??

Do they have powerpc binaries? If not, then I would not follow that
road.  Perhaps moving to another platform.

If your company/client bought powerpc-based computers, then I think that
could be used as an argument to ask for powerpc binaries (I don't know
Oracle).

Talking about RDBMSes already in Debian, they should work on powerpc the
same way that they would run on other platforms (ideally).  Actually,
most software *does* happen to run as well on ppc as on, say, amd64.

The exceptions are really the vast minority.

Extremely interesting!!!!!!
Have to look into this...
Actually what I really need is to verify that it will run with  
Compiere (www.compiere.com) ...
and they state that they will run on Oracle and EnterpriseDB Advanced  
Server.... and it is the PL/SQL which is the _key_ issue.....
