Q: 

Install Oracle on my vista desktop

I want to learn oracle and that is why I want to install Oracle on my vista machine. Could you please let me know where can I download the installer from?

Could you guys let me know about any books that I can start working with Oracle?

Thank you.

+1  A: 

I would install and run Oracle 10g Express Edition ("Oracle XE"). It'll be easier to install and sufficient for your needs.

For the rest see What is a good Oracle reference book for a beginner?

+1 for XE. I wonder if they'll ever upgrade it to 11g, though.

@Thilo: probably when 12g (or whatever letter is all the rage by then) comes out.
