Oracle study access

[aidan mark]

I hope this isn't off topic but does anyone know of a service where I can get developer/student access to an Oracle 9i or 10g? I am not ready to take certification yet but I am interested in improving my knowledge of the DB, and in particlar accessing it via JDBC.

Does anyone offer such a service either free for serious candidates or for a moderate fee?

I have tried downloading 9i personal but have had no luck installing it on my Mandrake linux 9.2 machine (link errors).

You can actually download the complete Oracle version if you want. They allow free download if you have it for you own personal computer to learn.

The link errors are Linux issues/ or install issues not a problem with the Oracle download.

I am sure you could open a TAR and get help from Metalink if you want.
