   Can FreeBSD used as a database server?  Does a datbase exist for
   FreeBSD?  Where can I get it and what is it?  What kind of documentation
   can I get for it?  What protocol is used to access the database?  If IP
   does it use sockets or packets?

Take a look at /usr/ports/db/ingres, my son, all will be revealed
therein! :-)

I'm not saying it's ideal for your needs (I don't know what your needs
are), but some folks are using it..  There's also a POSTGRES port if
you go in for that sort of thing, but I haven't had time to look at
it, myself.
