It's slightly larger than your average Access environment. The software is freely available for download at http://otn.oracle.com - look for 'Software Download'. Based on size, connectivity, etc. you might want to read the discourse on 'Tech Tracks' for physical medium instead of download at the same location. After download, unzip/gunzip the file & check the README for the basic install instructions. At that time, you will probably want more help - it's a bit of a bear getting it installed the first time. Aside from that, if you are totally new to the environment, please do everyone a favor (especially yourself) and get acquainted with the documentation (also available at otn, more directly at http://docs.oracle.com - after you have registered at otn) and especially get acquainted with the Concepts manual and at least skim through the Database Administrator's Guide /Hans j-nol wrote: > Hi > > I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to set up Oracle > 9i on a single user machine, and if so where I could find instructions to do > so?? > > I am wanting to connect some Microsoft Access database tables to an Oracle > devleoped frontend - is this possible using ODBC??? > > Thanks for the help > > Michael
