Hi guys,

In terms a enterprise level databases I've pretty much got all my experience on SQL Server 7-2008 via work and books. I started grad school recently and this program seems to be heavy Oracle. My school has a MSDN Academic license so I can get MS development products for free to play around with but not Oracle.

I know the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition is the solution for SQL Server that has everything I need. Since i'm a student, I found where I can get software elsewhere at a discount price and I'm trying to get a hold of the equivalent for Oracle. I found VTC Oracle 10g but I'm not sure if that the full software software suite. Can someone confirm what I should be looking for?

I want to get a handle on Oracle and also start developing some .NET apps against an oracle DB for fun and practice. I have a personal server at home that I can install it on.

Thanks,

Strick
