and I downloaded the "SQL Plus Instant Client". I just want a free

there are just DLLs and 2 JAR files. I don't see any SETUP.EXE file to
start the install. What am I missing? How do I get a free Oracle client
installed, if possible, so I can test some SQL statements.

You do something you may be unfamiliar with since you aren't used to
Oracle: You READ the documentation.

But to flesh this out a bit more ... how are you going to connect to the
server? The web? TCP/IP? Through a firewall? What version? Your post is
dangerously short of information that might affect the answer.

Whoever owns the server you are connecting to ... BTW with Oracle you
don't connect to servers ... should be able to get you a copy of SQL*Plus.
Alternatively you might be able to use the free download of
SQL*Developer available at http://otn.oracle.com. Hard to tell.

There is no documentation with that download. There is just a 2 sentence
read-me file which doesn't address anything but a bug.

I will connect through TCP/IP through a firewall.

I just want to install the SQL Plus client tool for executing a few SQL
statements. I can't get any software from the remote person because my
contact is not technical, and it shouldn't matter if the client tool is
available for download anyway. Can anyone help?
