Indeed, a very grown-up comment!

If Dan insulted you by only posting a link to SQL Server 2005, and not mentioning Oracle, I can only say I am sorry. But since I know Dan as a very nice and friendly person, I am fully convinced that his purpose was only to be helpful with what he could contribute with. Besides, someone else had already posted a link to Oracle XE.
