While on the topic of getting Cosmo to run against [database X], I've 
created a wiki page 
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/CosmoOracleConfiguration 
that describes what I had to do to get Cosmo to run against an Oracle 
10g server.  The good news is that it works.  The bad news is that I had 
to make some schema changes that impact existing data so I didn't check 
any of these changes in.

The changes that have the most impact are renaming the db columns from 
"uid" to "uuid", as that would require more migration work.  It makes 
things a little complicated because Derby doesn't support changing 
column names.  So for now, I'll leave things alone and if anyone wants 
to run against Oracle they can refer to the wiki in order to get things 
working.
