The 'trial' version is NOT trimmed down. Can't help you there.

However, if you want to complete (not time bombed, not crippled) version of the Oracle software, go to http://otn.oracle.com, click on Download, and ask for the 9.2 version of the database.

While you are there, a bit below the Download link on http://otn.oracle.com is a Sample Code link and the "Oracle by Example" page that shows up from that link will lead you to detailed install, deinstall, basic admin & example code links. (You might also browse the samples pages to review the included capabilities of the database & maybe find some development you can avoid by leveraging the inherent delivered capabilities.)
