Get a copy of a trial version of personal Oracle7. You can either download it at www.oracle.com(would take a long time) or it comes on CD with a couple of books. I would recommend getting Developing Personal Oracle7 Applications by David Lockman, which is published by SAMS. The book is really good for starting out. One weakness, however, is the instructions for installing some of the files from the disk are not clear. Post a message here or send me an email when you're ready to do that and I'll give you a hand.

Another good thing is that the author responds to email.
