Hi,

for my studies, I have to install a Oracle 9i on my Pc.
All I really need is a sql plus window to test my PL/SQL
Procedures and stuff.

Therefore, I would like to limit Oracle as much as possible -
A regular installation eats up all my HD and memory space -
and in generall I don't really want all this stuff Oracle wants me to
install.

Can you give me a hint which parts I really have to install to get a
properly running SQL Plus window to check out PL / SQL?

To you guys working for Oracle:
PLEASE add an option "minimal memory and hdd usage"!!!



Cheers,

Anton

Oracle 10g XE 150 Mb download

Oracle 9i : Personal Oracle.

Hard disk is cheap nowadays.

For all Oracle users: please get an appropiate system and stop whining
about disk and memory

BTW: I'm not employed by Oracle.

Anton, if you do not need a local database but are going to connect to
the school database then all you need to install is the Oracle client
software to get SQLPlus.

If you also want imp, exp, and sqlldr just do a second custom install
and select the programmer options.

If you need your own db the as Sybrand pointed out go with Personal
Oracle. It is pretty much the Enterprise Edition minus RAC.
