I am recently laid off and I thought I would at least learn the concepts behind Oracle8i while I had the time. I know SQL and used it often in my last job. I downloaded Personal Oracle and installed it and then I bought Oracle8i DBA Handbook to try to get a handle on it, but the book does not seem to be written for Personal Oracle8i. It seems to be written for the Enterprise Edition. I also went and bought Oracle8i for dummies and now I feel like a dummy.

I am more of a developer than I am an administrator and I am looking for a way to learn Oracle to at least a solid, BASIC level. I would like to be able to write a vbscript to access a database or use PERL to access Oracle.

What resources are available to help me with this?

Any help would be appreciated.
