Kari, I have a book that I simply can't recommend strongly enough if you plan to use VB with Oracle. It has superb discussions of relational theory, database design, Oracle architecture, SQL, PL/SQL, application interface and comparison of ADO with other libraries. The only negative is that the copy that I have (dog-eared and pages falling out) is a bit dated, so it doesn't go into some of the newer features of Oracle. I don't know whether a newer edition is available or not.
