I don't say this to dampen your enthusiasm and hope you continue to study Oracle ... but 8.0.4 is so obsolete it will likely be impossible to find books for it and support, even here in this group, will be difficult.

I would suggest that you go to http://store.oracle.com and purchase the CD pack for 8.1.7.4 or, if hardware permits, 9.2.0.

If will be a far happier experience.
