Re: pl/sql

I would purchase Tom Kyte's book, Oracle 8 Architecture by Osborne, and a copy of the Oracle 8i DBA Handbook also by Osborne. If only one book ... get Tom's. And do every example he has as is allowed by your set-up.

After you've done that ... come up with some kind of project like an Oracle app to manage your CD collection or checkbook, and build it.
