Why would SLES be better than 9.3 for Oracle? For Firebird too?
Stability maybe? I've heard that SuSE Pro is a bit leading edge.
Partly about stability and longevity (SLES is maintained for seven years, 9.3 only for two), and partly about certifications. Oracle support won't touch you unless you're running on a platform they've certified. I have no idea how the firebird people treat that
I forgot to mention, it's impossible to buy a support contract from SUSE/Novell for 9.3. So if you're looking at a serious production environment where you want to have a serious support agreement, 9.3 wouldn't be a good choice for that reason either
