Re: Installing/learning Oracle

Thanks for your reply, but when I run the installer, I never get an option to install the server. The only choices I get are to install the client, and the programmer.

So if I just want to be able to run Developer 6, do I still need to have a server installation?

Thanks,
Wendy
