Maria - Actually, I would think the best time to contact Oracle sales is
when you don't have money. Good sales people can smell money. ;-)
Some software companies are very liberal about providing their product
for development and training purposes. My impression has been that Oracle is
NOT one of those companies. They are the top database company, so they
realize you will need to interface with Oracle, so they are happy to have
you buy Oracle licenses to develop a product. That is development. With
training, it is worse because you are competing with Oracle, so there is
even less incentive for Oracle to be cooperative. I'm assuming that Oracle
Education provides training courses in your country.
With some activities, you have the opportunity to keep quiet and hope
Oracle doesn't notice what you are up to. But I'm sure you will be
advertising your classes, so Oracle may notice your company and come check
you out.
These are just some random thoughts for you to consider. A better idea
would be for you to contact other training facilities and see what they do
for Oracle licensing.
Even better, many participants on this list have been involved in
providing training and may have insights they will share with you, either on
this forum or privately -- How about it people?

A couple of friends and I are thinking of putting up a small training
company here in the Phils.
(When we say small...its really small with almost 0
capitalization...just sheer guts and technical knowhow)
We have looked at OTN and checked the licensing terms for the use of the
software for training.
We have stumbled on this provision:
You may not:
�use the programs to provide third party training;
I was wondering if any of you know if there is a different licensing for
training institutions?
How does a non-oracle partner acquire license to use Oracle DB software
for training?
I am looking at partnering with Oracle, but we are just starting and
partnering costs $$.
I dare not call Oracle Philippines just yet...If there is a need to
purchase, and if we have the money, only then will we contact them.
Thanks.
=)
