"Inexpensive" is not in Oracle's vocabulary, which is a serious shame.
They definetly could reduce the cost of Personal edition if for no other
reason then to collect the annual support renewals from people like us.

Subject: What is the least expensive Oracle database product?
I posted here the other day mentioning that I no longer have MOS
access and someone suggested that I buy a cheap Oracle license, just
for the support. I decided to take a look at the store today and find
it confusing. And "cheap" is definitely relative. :)
According to the pop-up list of "user minimums", both SE and SE One
require a 5 user minimum. But the shopping cart appears to be quite
happy to sell me just one (that is, I added one to my cart, hit
Checkout, and it gave every indication that it would proceed with
taking my information without complaint).
Even for SE One, five users adds up to $1100, more than I am willing
to spend on this. But I can handle paying for one....
I guess my question is twofold: one, is there a less expensive
product I can buy that will get me a CSI? And two, since I have no
intention of actually running the software as licensed anyway, does it
even matter if I buy the minimum?
thanks,
janine
