 From a pdf that I found on the Oracle website

- "Oracle personal edition supports single user development and 
deployment that require full computability with Oracle8i and Oracle8i 
enterprise Edition."

- "Oracle8i Lite is a small footprint database built from the ground up 
to deliver enterprise applications  to mobile devices such as laptop 
computers, handheld computers and information  appliances."
