   Minor correction - you can download the "Oracle Database Server software   
   and installation CDs" and elect to load the Personal Edition, Enterprise   
   Edition, or even Client from the software.   
      
   (All the variants are on the same CD set and you don't chose at download   
   time but at install time.)   
      
   Look carefully at the license agreement when you download - there's a   
   reason it's called a 'development license'.   
      
   Finally, there are a lot of myths around the definition of "Personal   
   Edition".  Suggest looking at   
   http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/9idb_rel2_prod_fam.pdf to   
   get a better idea of the truth.
