save your money. go here (dont have the link to the 10g docs handy...)
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.homepage
read the 'concepts' document. skip the stuff on java. oracle has very good. free documentation. downside is you have to read it online... i think you can buy it from them to get it in book form.
If you really want to buy a book, try out 'Beginning Oracle Programming'. Skip the PL/SQL chapters, they aren't that good. Best chapters in the book are chapters 5-8.
OCP books are not very good for learning Oracle. The free docs are much better.
