I don't understand this. You can purchase a package of Oracle CDs direct from Oracle's web site that include Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Personal Edition, etc. (in total about 16 CDs) for a miserly $39.00 or so. Anyone interested in learning SQL can afford this package as it is far less than even a book.

If someone offered me mySQL as a training tool I would just laugh.

Get the real thing.
