So one of the things I'm doing in my lab is maintaining a practice and development environment for multiple languages and frameworks, such as Python, PHP, and even *shudders* Ruby, crossed with various Databases, such as PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and other tools like rabbitmq, mqtt, and memcached and redis. So I'm thinking about expanding the database assortment into the 'commercial' realm of applications, so I'm looking at setting up an MS server with IIAS and .NET for web development, and databi for both OracleSQL and MSSQL. But licensing. Does anybody have any practical experience running these in the home lab? Do MS and Oracle make these available under home, lab, or student licenses for free or reduced cost? I couldn't even find a "Buy it now" purchase link on Oracle's website, and I'm trudging through their XE process now and finding that the generous '2GB in Memory' limit they place may not be as generous as I thought, since on a stock empty install it's already using over 1.5GB. So how do you license your MSSQL and OracleSQL in your home lab?
