Recently laid off and while I have the time I'd like to get a handle on PL/SQL.
Anyone have a source where I can download a copy of a DBMS and related stuff so I can learn this on my PC?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

I'd start with using the MSDE (microsoft data engine) if you're on windows
how to obtain:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/default.asp

then you can get the TRIAL of MSSQL 2000
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/trial/default.asp
which has the DBMS that you can still use when the trial runs out.

mysql.com and postgresql.org allow free downloads (They are OSS) and have guides on how to use them/SQL in general.
