Hi,

Is it possible to obtain a free version of Oracle 8i or 9i for home use ? I will become a dba for oracle databases soon (more designing databases and datamodelling) but i would like to learn more of Oracle (installing, optimizing, ... the more technical aspects of a dba). Is this what the Personal Edition is for or is it also possible to obtain a Enterprise Edition ? What's the difference in system requirements ?
My goal is to install it on Linux.

thanx,
