You won't find it, for two reasons:
1. There's no such thing as "postgre"
The proper name is PostgreSQL, though people are often forgiven for
falling back to "postgres".
2. Looking at that list...
- Oracle Applications are an Oracle product, written expressly for
the Oracle "database platform."
- SAP is not the identity of a software product; it is the name of
a large German company that sells something known as R/3.
Deploying R/3 to additional database platforms (I *believe* the
current list of databases is Oracle, Informix, DB2, Microsoft SQL
Server, and SAP-DB) requires that SAP AG rewrite portions of the
R/3 kernel.
You cannot run R/3 atop any database you choose; you must run it on
one of the specific combinations of OS and database that SAP AG
supports. (They actually get more precise than that; historically,
you needed to use a database install that was bundled with R/3.
Thus, an "R/3 on HP/UX and Oracle" installation was a set of CDs
that included both R/3 and Oracle, and that would only run on a
specific release of HP/UX...)
