start the install. What am I missing? How do I get a free Oracle

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?



Likely one on those jars should be opened using the Oracle Universal
Installer. But as you don't disclose the names, and rely on
clairvoyancy, I bet you won't get any accurate responses.

People are tough to newbies in this group. I didn't post the JAR names
because I don't think I downloaded the right ZIP. I downloaded the
"Instant Client". The jar names are:

classes12.jar
ojdbc14.jar

That's it besides DLLs. And I don't have any idea what an Oracle
Universal Installer is, by the way. I'm posting here because I'm asking
nicely for help and acknowledged I'm new to Oracle.


My guess is that you've only downloaded the Basic (OCI) Instant Client
package.
If you want to use SQL*Plus, you should also download the (same version)
SQL*Plus Instant Client, containing the SQL*Plus executable.
Here's the Release Notes of the 10.1 release:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/docs/tech/sql_plus/10103/readme_ic.htm
where the installation and configuration is described.
It will not be easy, though, to install/configure this without any technical
knowledge of your DB-environment.
