I'm currently plowing through "The SQL Guide to Oracle" Addison-Wesley (ISBN 0-201-56545-5)
I'm just learning ANSI SQL and Oracle and find the book pretty good for
beginners. Lots of samples etc.
It does get a bit into depth about db theory in some places but when I get
in over my head I've found I can ignore
those sections and still be able to continue farther along in the book.
I have been hacking spaghetti in MSAccess for awhile though. I don't know
your particular skill level so
my suggestion is go to a brick and mortar store and flip some pages. That's
how I found this beauty!
