Personal Oracle is a development tool!!! You create an app with your front end of choice and hook it to Personal Oracle in your development world. Then you hook your final app to a server based version of oracle when you are done. You can also demo your proto types to your client on a laptop with Personal Oracle. If you are running a single user app and want data management and a GUI front end - get something like Paradox. But you can't download that from a Web site . . .
