Please correct me if I'm wrong.
On the subject of databases, are any of these remotely compatible with Oracle? (3.3.2.0.0). I'm required to use Oracle for a database subject I'm studying at uni, but would prefer to use something compatible at home, but none of Postgres, mysql (when I got it working; I can't remember how to start the server now!) or mSQL will accept the create table commands given, complaining about the datatypes. I understand this might be an SQL-standard deficiency though.
