I think we should start asking what you want to do with this database server - do you expect many connections / large queries or do you maybe just need the database running to restore old dumps and lookup something in the data.
You can indeed run oracle with only very low physical memory - if you have enough virtual memory - I have seen DB2 servers kept entirely in virtual memory ... but as Bakunin already stated - the performance of such kind of servers is really bad - so you won't have much joy.

db2_close - Closes a database connection
SYNOPSIS
bool db2_close (resource $connection)
DESCRIPTION
This function closes a DB2 client connection created with db2_connect(3) and returns the corresponding resources to the database server.
If you attempt to close a persistent DB2 client connection created with db2_pconnect(3), the close request is ignored and the persistent
DB2 client connection remains available for the next caller.
PARAMETERS
o $connection
- Specifies an active DB2 client connection.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Closing a connection
The following example demonstrates a successful attempt to close a connection to an IBM DB2, Cloudscape, or Apache Derby database.
<?php
$conn = db2_connect('SAMPLE', 'db2inst1', 'ibmdb2');
$rc = db2_close($conn);
if ($rc) {
echo "Connection was successfully closed.";
}
?>
The above example will output:
Connection was successfully closed.
