What is the best free (or trial) Oracle database development environment I can have?
Especially I would like to have my databases, or as much as possible of them, locally.
Its Oracle 10, I develop .NET (on Windows), I already have Toad and the free Virtualbox image (Linux) that Oracle provides (But would prefer to have the tools in Windows).
You can download fully functional versions of almost any of Oracle's products from OTN (the Oracle Technology Network). You can download either the full enterprise edition database under the OTN license (which is free for learning/ prototyping purposes) or you can download the express edition of the database which is free to deploy and use in production but is limited in terms of how much RAM it can use, how many CPUs it can use, and how big the database can grow.

I am looking to automate my appplication installation on standalone machines, so wondering if I can automate the oracle 11g setup as well? Is there a way to do this?
Maybe instead of installing Oracle on Windows use VM with pre installed software. Here you have some instructions how to use it.
Generally I don't think automated instalation for database make sense. You can configure database somwhere in the net and your application can use remote databse (just create a schema for each user). Also database server has usually different requirements so it is not popular to install DB at same machine as application.

I want to download the full oracle client 11.2.0.4, but the only download I found in oracle website is Oracle Instant client.
Can I get a direct link to the download in Oracle website ?
Another thing, I need also the ODAC for .Net, does it include in the Oracle Client ? Or would I need to download it separately.
Thanks
Version 11.2.0.4 is not publicly available, it can be downloaded from support.oracle.com - including the full client. In order to log in there, you need an account associated with a valid CSI number (support contract).
ODAC includes the Instant client, you don't need to download and install a seperate Oracle client software.
The direct link anyways is as follows (but you need an account with the proper privileges to download it):

We currently have an application written in Oracle. Most of our customers wish to run on VMWare internally or via third party.
My understanding of Oracle licensing is that you must licence against all the underlying hardware unless you use Oracle's own virtualisation software. However, most hosting organisations use VMWare and any internal hosting will also use VMWare.
How can we licence Oracle products without them looking uncompetitive to competing SQL Server products when the VMWare licensing causes problems?
Thanks.
It's all in the architecture of you VMWARE solution. From a performance and scaleabilty point of view Oracle will probbably beat MSSQL in several areas, security etc. MSSQl also has specific challenges in VMware licensing that you should research.
Matthew is right speak to your sales rep about the most cost effective solutions for your requirement.

I heard rumors that some of database packages provided in Oracle database are not necessarily free to use. I thought that all packages like DBMS_UTILITY and DBMS_PROFILER are free to use and doesn't cost any extra.
And I also heard that there might be some kind of log if you have used some of those packages so that Oracle licensing guys could see afterwards how systems are used.
Do you know how it goes? Is there different licenses concerning about usage of internal packages?
Thanks,
Jokke
DBMS_UTILITY and DBMS_PROFILER are both free to use.
The packages (and views) that require additional licensing will generally be part of one of the various management packs and are documented in the Licensing Guide. For example, the DBMS_SQLTUNE package and the V$SQL_MONITOR view are part of the separately licensed Oracle Tuning Pack. If you use one of these packages or views, the associated entry in DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS should be updated so that the DBA can ensure that the organization is correctly licensed.

Please suggest some Freeware both for Client and server side. This is to learn every thing about PL/SQL..
You can use Oracle XE database and Oracle SQL Developer. Both are free.
Add a good book on PL/SQL. I'd suggest Steven's book.
Oracle products can be used for learning for free.
Oracle 11g Enterprise and Standard Edition come with a development licence that allows the use of either for free for educational purposes.
Download from here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html.
Try SQL Developer for writing PL/SQL with. This provides syntax support and compilation error reporting.
