Hi,

I'd like practice Oracle using my personal laptop - with the client and database in the same laptop. I think I should download Oracle 10g XE. I was given 3 options. Which of the 3 should I install:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Western European)
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)
Oracle Database 10g Express Client

Thanks.

Oracle explained it quite well; did you read what it said? If you understand what's being written, there should be no doubt which one to install.
