You can get a full version of SQL server for $50, feature equivalent to
Enterprise edition, just not licenced for production usage. Only really
worthwhile for people who work with SQL a lot.

I know there's a free version of Oracle, wasn't aware it was all the
features of the top version..

SQL Express is a restricted feature set, but it can be used anywhere,
including on production systems, free.
