There are FREE trial versions of Oracle that are available on www.oracle.com.
These are "Personal Oracle" which offers a full-fledged database. You may
need to get WindowsNT or Windows95 for this to work. It may also require more
than 4M memory. I would recommend getting a new Pentium with 16M+ and
Windows95/NT. They run for $1200 or so these days. Anyway, try it on your computer
first. Personal Oracle comes with SQL and PL/SQL capabilities.
