[Quoted] [Quoted] You will discover that Oracle Lite 8.1.6 is available as a CD if you dabble around http://technet.oracle.com. However, it takes weeks to arrive (I [Quoted] [Quoted] ordered one on a 'dare' from a student about 6 weeks ago, and it still [Quoted] hasn't arrived).

[Quoted] Lite is fairly fully functional.

[Quoted] [Quoted] What you'd be better off doing, however, is finding a friend who works for a [Quoted] company with a decent Internet connection, and downloading the lot on that [Quoted] connection (ie, the Enterprise Edition). They only need a CD burner, and [Quoted] you're off.
