So you cannot connect.
Go to OTN and download Oracle XE.

I advise you to watch Stephane Faroult's YouTube videos named "Oracle DBA Lite: an introduction to Oracle" (parts 1 to 7); they are based on Oracle XE.

>hi everybody..... this is sethu and am totally new to SQL.
SQL depends upon some RDBMS & MYSQL is easier to install & manage than Oracle.
