JDeveloper is now free. Or rather, it has a production license cost of $0.

Database and Data Miner giving no commercial benefit? Answer this: if you had to stop using the Oracle product for 4 weeks, would there be any impact? If yes, and if you publish and if your facility gets any prestige from your publishing, is that not commercial benefit?

However, you will probably find that until you have set up everything for your analysis you are still in the 'development' phase and under the free development license. After that, you will probably be be able to use the Personal Oracle license which includes Data Miner. That is not expensive at all.
