RE: oracle client

In addition to Instant Client that has already been suggested, consider these free tools:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/overview/index.html Oracle SQL Developer is a free integrated development environment that simplifies the development and management of Oracle Database. SQL Developer offers complete end-to-end development of your PL/SQL applications, a worksheet for running queries and scripts, a DBA console for managing the database, a reports interface, a complete data modeling solution, and a migration platform for moving your 3rd party databases to Oracle.

Note that Data Modeler is integrated into SQL Developer.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html

This virtual machine contains:

Oracle Linux 5
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Cache Oracle XML DB

You can use SQL Developer on Windows to connect to the Oracle Database within the Linux VM.
