The issue with Personal Oracle is that you cannot have multiple SQL*Net connections to the database. After the first SQL*Net connect the next one gets some wierd Oracle error. Oracle did this to prevent the database from being used by multiple users on a network. PO has just enough functionality to let you do limited development and get you interested in purchasing the full blown product.

Let me know by mail if you like to have the instructions on getting PO connected over SQL*Net.
