It works like this
Read, understand, practice.
Feel free to get back to us if you've got any more specific questions.
Out of curiosity, if the not understanding the SELECT statement is an Expert level SQL problem, what would a Newbie problem look like?

Ok, you need Part V => Chapter 14 => SQL Statements => SQL Overview in the Concepts Manual
It goes through everything Oracle does to process a SQL statement, although you probably want to read Part I => Chapter 1 => Data Concurrency and consistency overview to get a good explanation of multiversioning
