Choosing a Release of Oracle

The release of Oracle that you get should correspond to the version of Oracle that you want to learn. Although Oracle Database 10g (Oracle10g) is the most current release of Oracle, the vast majority of installations still use older releases of Oracle such as Oracle9i and Oracle8i.

It is important to also consider the version(s) of Oracle that your computer's operating system will support. Following are some helpful links to get you started:

• Oracle Database on Microsoft Windows FAQ
• Oracle-on-Linux Installation Menu
