Perhaps a bit late but I have just been cleaning up the email As an alternate suggestion perhaps running Oracle under VMware with GSX Server. You can build a single instance of the training environment and then replicate the environment to build multiple instances, A nice feature is the ability to make each instance non persistent so that at the end of training you can simply undo all the work done in the training class GSX allows you to run as many instances as your hardware can support and if they are willing to buy big hardware then a GSX license is probably going to be cheap

I have not heard installing hundred database instances on same server. Maybe you should think creating one instance, and then hundred schemas in it.
