My agency has a complex series of sql and sqlplus queries that ultimately generates a final report. The commands create views, calculations and intricate select statements. For security reasons, the "create view" permission ,an integral part of the code, has been denied to all users so I downloaded the applicable tables to ms access and tried to revise and execute, to no avail. I have the complete sql statements and I was wondering if I could download a copy of ms sql or oracle sql application and dump the tables into it and generate my product? Any other ideas??

And no, in general you should not assume you can execute Oracle sql on any other product than Oracle. If you stick to ANSI SQL, then you can, but there is a lot more to Oracle SQL than what ANSI provides. Typical SQL makes use of Oracle specific functions. TO_DATE, TO_CHAR, DECODE, NVL, Oracle join syntax, and I could go on and on.

You should use a download of Oracle. Syntax on SQL Server and Access will vary from Oracle, and vice-versa.
Oracle XE is free, completely and is easier to setup. I recommend you go that route.

You can take an export from your Oracle server and import into the XE database.
Whoever decided to deny create view permission in your organization made a really poor decision and they would be getting a lecture from me or be on their way out the door at my shop.
