Learning Oracle with a "normal" computer

Hi everybody.

I am a guy from El Salvador (Central America) and I want to learn Oracle. My aim is learning only, I donīt want to put anything in production.

I have a "normal" computer here in El Salvador. 256 Mb Ram memory, 2 Gb virtual memory, Windows XP Pro. I have downloaded Oracle 10g from the Oracle website and it is so SLOW. Creating a table lasts half an hour and I get desperated.

I know my machine is not great but I canīt afford another one. I have looked for a trial version of Oracle Personal Edition but it doesnīt exist at the Oracle website.

So how can I learn Oracle with my humble machine?. (Spending half an hour to create a table is not an option).

Regards,
