You can download Oracle from the Oracle site for free , but the installation may be little complex but not that hard. if you want to use MS SQL Server, you may get the software for trail version like 120 days, but the installation may be little easier when compared to Oracle. Here we will use Oracle as the RDBMS.
Also, make sure that you have XP Windows Prof or Windows 2003 Server as your Operating System. if you have Windows Vista you cannot install on it, but what you can do is, install VMWare and insall XP Prof within that VMWare. Many do that way if you have a laptop that has Vista. Download VMWare for free directly from here:
VMWare Server
Also, check this site for step by step VMWare install
You would need 1 GB or 2 GB (better to have) of RAM
And at 120 GB Hard Drive space (with VMWare you need good hard drive space)
You need to download Oracle from Oracle website:
Both Oracle 9i and 10g version are supported at PeopleTools 8.49;
It is better to download Oracle 10g and install it.
To download all required software, you would need to register in Oracle Technology network site which is free.
