98603 2002-11-14 13:23:00 I want to download and try Oracle9i Personal Edition from Oracle website.

What are the limitations of using this version? Is it only a trial version or is it full version with some limitations since its available for free on the site. Can anyone give some info on this?

Thank you.

98604 2002-11-15 02:17:00 If you read the terms of the license agreement you will see that it is only a trial version.
There are also certain conditions (otn.oracle.com) you must meet:D
If you write a program using oracle9i, then OTN own it. If you pay for oracle, then I believe you would own the programs you write.

98605 2002-11-15 03:29:00 Thankxx radders,

It says you need to obtain appropriate license after the 30 days.
Doesnt say whether the program will stop working or anything like that

Can i still use it after 30 days without obtaining the licence or will the whole application stop working?

cheers :)

98606 2002-11-15 05:09:00 A 30 day license will let you use it for 30 days.:)
No more :(

Upon obtaining the correct license (paying for it) you will be able to use it longer.

98607 2002-11-15 08:42:00 Pluto I didn't know it could be downloaded - I put my name onto an Oracle email list or something and they sent me Oracle9i from the States - all 4 or 5 CDs of it. I wouldn't have wanted to download it, that's for sure - it's a good 4gb when fully installed :D

PS I'm not sure if this is the same thing as you're wanting, but I guess it is.

98608 2002-11-15 13:17:00 Mike,

Well i plan to download it unless i can get the CD's for free from somewhere like you did. Its about 1.4 G of download (3CD's)
Got heaps of hrs left on my plan so might as well use it everynight :D

Well i just wanna learn to use oracle and develop some little applications eventually.

cheers

98609 2002-11-15 20:21:00 I heard that they were going to give the full version away free (for a time limited period) as a celebration for the boat getting into the semis.

Well the somewhere that I got them from is Oracle.com - I signed up for something (can't remember what) and they sent it to me. It wasn't anything to do with how well their boat is doing, as I got mine in about February I think.
