I have always used Access 2000 where I can copy/backup each database and put it on my zip everyday.

Now I have my first Schema with objects that include 3 tables that is about 2MB in size on an Oracle 9i database. Please advise how I can copy my tables and store them on my zip?

Oracle is a client/server database. An Access database is a file(.mdb). In Oracle Tables are stored in a tablespace. Look into cold back ups.

set ORACLE_CID=PROG
sqlplus /nolog

sys as sysdba/pw

ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;

ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE to 'H:\cdbkups\prog_4_2_6\bkup_controlfiles\bkuptxt_cf.log';

shutdown immediate;

copy datafiles, controlfiles ,cf_txt,cf_binary, redos and archives,pw(datbase folder) and init.ora(pfile folder)
to appropriate directories

startup pfile='Z:\oracle\admin\prog\pfile\init.ora'

I dont have sys permissions. Only a Schema login.
Can I still do backup or download my information to my local workstation?

You can always export and import.

http://www.orafaq.com/faq/import_export

Just be aware that, Export/Import is not a real backup. It almost like a backup. If your data is not highly transactional or huge, you can just take an export. But understand the caveats first.
