Need guidance from the Oracle expert

I wanted to learn Oracle from basic on my own. Navigated to following link
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
Not sure what I need to down load. Basically I wanted to practice basic SQL or PL/SQL. Please advice which module I need to down load.
Few days ago, I downloaded "Oracle Database 10g Enterprise/Standard Editions" from the above page. Got stuck in the username, password and connectivity screen. I was not sure if I need to download any other modules beside this one.

Please help.

thanks again.

I dont know exactly but in my case it was

username:scott
password:tiger

username:system
password:manager

username:sys
password:change_on_install

for database connectivity put global database name

Oracle 10 G express edition is lite and works perfectly fine for me, I'd recomend givin it a try.
The user name I think is sys and password is the one that you provide during installation.
GoodLuck

Its been a while but as far as I remember it should ask you for admin password to be set during installation. Its been ages though. Scott/tiger will work only when you install the additional demo database during installation. Orelse sytem/administrator should work.

Try not to use sys/change_on_install.

I believe your problem is with the installation. Have you configured host in your computer? if not the then research on it more as your computer should be a host under something ( can be a dummy). The system generally takes the computer_name whatever you may have as your hostname. Computername in a sense whatever your computer's name is in the network. or try 127.0.01 instead should work.

Try all these and post your result. I can do it one more time just for the heck of it and let you know.
