download Oracle 30 day trial

I am trying to learn Oracle PL/SQL and build web apps using JDeveloper.

I need to do this at home for 30 days to get up to speed at my new job.

I have been developing web apps for the past 3 years using ASP.NET, Visual Studio, MS SQL server 2010, and c#.

I have observed the similarities while inspecting completed apps at the workplace.  However, there is no support at the workplace for building a new app using an Oracle sample database.

Where can I find a link to download a current version of Oracle on my 64 bit Windows 8 machine at home?

Thanks,

Can JDeveloper be used with both the free Express and the Regular database?

Don't know.  Never used JDeveloper but I cannot think of why not.

As far as Express (XE) goes, the docs seem to imply you can:

I downloaded disks 1 and 2 for Oracle 11g R2 to the same folder.  Then I unzipped.

Setup.exe failed with the error: Does not meet minimum configuration requirements.

Installation guide does not list Windows 8.1 or anything above Windows 7.

I am running Windows 8.1.
I am not running Windows Server. Is this a problem?

Thanks,

12c is not installed in the work place. I was hired to maintain existing apps using the installed tools (SQL Navigator 6.6 and JDeveloper 10.1.3.4) . I learn best by building a simple application. I will continue attempts when I get home this evening.

Thanks,
Virtualization might be the way to go.  I keep forgetting about the canned VM's Oracle has.
My thanks to all of you.
