Re: New bie

You can download the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition from the link below. It is free and fully functional, for use in production, education, testing, and so on.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html

It also includes Oracle's HTMLDB, so you can create and deploy web database applications without using any extra Java/C#, C/C++, J2EE/.Net code

And while you are at it, you can also download Oracle's 'Project Raptor' which provides a GUI environment - see all data & structures in all your Oracle databases and schemas, do PL/SQL debugging, plus much, much more. It, too, is it free and fully functionaland you can use it to build, test, deploy productions applications too.

You don't mention platform explicitly - the above leaves you pretty much operating system independent so you can chose the best, and most cost effective, way to roll this out.
