Re: Newbie Question

You can use C++ with Oracle but there's a lot more to it than that. You can find manuals for all of the Oracle tools at technet.oracle.com. Maybe if someone else is reading this they can answer the question as to whether you are allowed to download all the software for evaluation. I think anyone is allowed to download stuff so long as it isn't being used in a production environment. Maybe someone can answer this question for you.

The main two products for developers are: Designer - case tool with code generation. improved code generation when 'headstart' is used as well.
Developer - includes 'forms' and 'reports' for building user interfaces and reports.

The database also has features for developers.

If you are looking at getting into Oracle as a developer then you need to get the software and wade through some books. The sql manual is a good place to start, next look at pl/sql. After that you can move on to Designer or Developer.

good luck
