Hello all,
                    I am thinking of ordering the CD ROM personal edition of
oracle 8 for home learning purposes. And I have a couple of question from
those who might have had experience of this.
                    First does the database only work for 30 days thereafter
I presume a licence has to be bought? Is this expensive?
                    Does using the 8 personal a good introduction to oracle
database technology?
                    Thanks
PP
