[Quoted] [Quoted] You must be extremely rich if you have the Enterprise edition (legally) on your [Quoted] home system. Trial licenses expire.

[Quoted] [Quoted] The personal edition is fine for learning Oracle and SQL. True, there are some [Quoted] features that are absent from the personal edition, but if someone is just [Quoted] [Quoted] learning Oracle then they probably won't even understand those differences or [Quoted] want to use them. All of the normal ANSI sql for DDL, DCL and DML are [Quoted] [Quoted] implemented. The features that are not implemented are Oracle proprietary extensions.
