Re: Downloading Personal Oracle for Windows 98

Hi,
I'm in a similar situation to SJ, Personal oracle sounds like just the thing, but where can I download it from? http://technet.oracle.com/software/products.htm only has Oracle 8i Lite for 95/98, I must have been round the entire site but I can't find the download link for Personal, it's beginning to do my head in.

All help appreciated,
Best wishes,
Paul Ashfield.
