Both have their good and bad points but SAP is the way to go.

10g seems to be the latest greatest availible for download. Shouldn't be too different from 11i. To download the developer edition you have to create an account with Oracle's technet. It's free but takes about 10 mins to answer all the questions. I didn't bother to log in but there might be an 11g availible for registered users. Especially if you use Linux. Oracle tends to put the Linux versions out first.

Hey buddy,\n\nIts a huge and extremely expensive software. If you have really purchased it, why dont you get the SAP support involved or get a Basis Administrator involved.\n\n\nThanks,\nManish

The software vendors that are writing popular ERP and other large business systems have selected Oracle as the background data store that they write their software to use.\n\nFor large data collections Oracle has many attributes that are important, such as ;\nscalability, consistency, concurrency, point-in-time recovery,multi platform availability  and a forward looking adoption policy for new technology.

I hope by this time you might have gained the knowledge about SAP, regarding modules it has been classified as SD,MM,PP,FI,PS,PP,HR... based on your domian knowledge you gain in real time you can choose any of these modules. AS a programmer [ABAP] you should know the basic document flow of any three modules, as a functional consultant you have to keen about any one module. I wish you all the best

"Systems, Applications And Products in Data Processing" ----is the full form for SAP. \n\nIf I m not mistaken and misinformed you can study it at Sapient College at Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad.

A good book to begin to learn and understand ABAP is "ABAP Objects - An introduction to Programming SAP Applications" Published by SAPPRESS \nISBN 0-201-75080-5\nIt includes a 2 CD set which contains MINI-SAP , so that you can install it on your own PC and actually work with the examples in the book.\n\nSAP has begun to embrace Java And ABAP as programming languages and developed tools where you can create Web Interfaces with both languages.\n\nI've only been a ABAPer for less than a year, but thus am learning the newest SAP technologies. However I bet the person who last answered could teach me alot.

Enterprise resource planning software, or ERP, doesn’t live up to its acronym. Forget about planning—it doesn’t do much of that—and forget about resource, a throwaway term. But remember the enterprise part. This is ERP’s true ambition. The software attempts to integrate all departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that can serve all those departments’ particular needs.\n\nBuilding a single software program that serves the needs of people in finance as well as it does the people in human resources and in the warehouse is a tall order. Each of those departments typically has its own computer system optimized for the particular ways that the department does its work. But ERP combines them all together into a single, integrated software program that runs off a single database so that the various departments can more easily share information and communicate with each other.\n\nThat integrated approach can have a tremendous payback if companies install the software correctly.\n\nWhile coming to SAP, it is a part of ERP where you can choose your area of interest either as a developer or a functional consultant. You can fing some good sites regarding SAP material at google search.

I would recommend Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) and JDeveloper as a tool.  Oracle have done all the hard work!

Hi Sohaib,\n\nOracle has Financials product since long, and it is a stable product.\n\nBut the think is, Oracle is not concentrating much on that, and just growing horizontally by taking over many companies.\n\nSo the basic problem is of Integration of Data from various products they took over.\n\nI think, you should more your attention towards SAP as it is the ERP leader in the market and will grow in future. You can take up SAP FI/CO module course and start working\n\nRegards,\nYatin
