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?

I went through it before posting the message
But what I want is How does select do in "select * from employee" to write in a 1 page assignment report

Any help is appreciated

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
