Hello all.

I am sorry if this is OFF Topic. I am looking for help from more experienced people in these areas.

I am looking for a job and one company is looking for people to create a test team (part of the quality assurance team). Their projects is based on SAP and Oracle Financials systems. I used SAP and Oracle Financials some years ago and I do not have a chance to create a lab for me to study them because of the nature of those products.

I thought that could help me a lot to try to emulate a lab installing Oracle as a database under my Freebsd personal server . That way maybe I can at least recreate the database schema (if I get it) and try to understand how it works and maybe , as part of the study , try to run reports and populate the database in some way (maybe PHP or Ruby?).

Questions.

- IS there any version of Oracle that I could install under FreeBSD (actually on 7.3)?

- Since I am in the process of learning to be more prepared for new projects as an Independent IT consultant, I would like to be able to learn tools that help me in the projects/job search. So IN this case, assuming that I can recreate someway with Oracle or MySQl or Postgresql the tables I need to study and assuming also previous experience on programming

How would you see to use Ruby for a crash course on accessing and web publishing the information on those tables? (actually I continue the process of learning Python but I am not ready , yet, for the web part). If You think Ruby could be faster , any resources you point me to are really appreciated.

- Finally . If you know of places of where I can get information, free if possible, about the actual version of Oracle Financials and SAP. Technical manual and the operational , administrative ones. I would love to hear where. I have tried of course the companies for SAP and Oracle financials but at least from here I can not access anything if I am not a consultant certified by them. Any suggestions?

I know this could sound as a waste of time project (trying to emulate the operation of SAP and Oracle in some part) but for sure I can not have access to a real application and besides with the Ruby learning I guess I could be in better position for future projects.

As always thanks in advance for your help and comments.
