It makes sense to me why Oracle allows that to be free... It promotes more Oracle knowledgable folks... If I had to pay for it "just to play around for it", I guess I would play around with mysql instead :-)
Until last week though, I was a total idiot and thought (for years) that I would have to pay to get Oracle on my PC so that I could play around with it.
I feel like I lost time there :-( Oh well. Now I know better! Received on Sun Aug 03 2003 - 11:33:39 CDT
