Oracle 10g Express Edition

I'm teaching a course on Oracle SQL PL/SQL right now using Oracle's 10g Express edition.

This edition allows you to have a fully operational version of the powerful Oracle database on your PC. So far, it's been great!

Here's the link...the install is fast and easy, you just need to register with Oracle to download and install it.

There's also a newer version of Oracle 11g Standard Edition available if you would rather work with that one--here's the link for that...

Along with installing the database, it would be a great idea of also install Oracle SQL Developer, which is a GUI for managing the database. Here's the direct link for Oracle SQL Developer...
