I have standalone 512MB RAM, 40GB HD PC with Windows XP Pro and Red Hat Linux 7.3.
What I want to install there is the Oracle 9i database
Personal Edition. In order to be able code and run
PL/SQL applications acting on the database tables
should I necessarilly install both Oracle 9i Server and Client, or will just Server suffice?
Also, how can I link Windows and Linux so that I will
be able to develop PL/SQL applications in Windows, but run them as Unix batch jobs?

You need to install only the 9i Server. Then write your PL/SQL code and run it from sqlplus:
SQL>exec plsql_procedure();
or
SQL>select plsql_function() from dual;
You don't have to install the client at all.
Not so clear on the second question ?? If you have one box, then you can run one of the OS - Win or Linux. To run them both you have to use some virtual machine - VMWare, lin4win, etc.
There is no difference in developing PL/SQL code on Windows or Linux. Of course only in your favorite text editor. Stick with whatever OS you feel more comfortable with.
Hope that helps,

Thanks,alot for quick response.
Concerning another question I know there is no difference in writing the code either on Windows,
or Unix. The actual question was(bear with me this,
please): Say, I got some type of PL/SQL development
tool on Windows and Oracle Server is also on Windows,
but I want to execute transaction(which might consist of several different packages/procedures) through the Unix script, as the Unix batch job, since the data
feed for the transaction is in Unix files.
What do I have to do setup-wise(if anything) for my Unix script to upload the data to the database tables
and execute the PL/SQL packages/procedures?
