Hi. > If you're not using it for production use, you don't pay to license it. > ie. using 10g to learn how to use it does not require you to license it. Ok. Can I order a cd pack of Oracle 10g for Linux and start using it and connect to the database, and use all sql commands such as create, update, alter,etc without worry about licenses? Does Oracle cd pack 10g edition ask for a license when you are installing the software or executing it for the first time? or after the first 30 days? best regards, F.M. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
