<P><FONT SIZE=2>Actually, Oracle Spatial is available for Oracle Personal, just not as a extra cost option. Oracle Personal is intended to be 100% compatible to Oracle Enterprise. Also, with Oracle's development license, you can use any version free of charge for development. You only need to pay for support. Oracle Spatial is installed with every version but in some cases is may not be licensed.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Oracle has three versions: Lite, Personal and Enterprise. Oracle Spatial</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>an option for Enterprise only, but for Personal Edition, Oracle provides</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>"Locator", which is a subset of Oracle Spatial (fully compatible, of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>course;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>only the name changes). Enterpise is fully supported into Linux, and I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>think</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>also all other versions (Oracle is investing on this platform). Oracle</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Lite</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is the chepest option, but you haven't Spatial.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hope this helps</FONT>
