Actualy, this advice is not far from wrong, although slightly overkill. (You only realy need to memorize 1/2 of them.)

Seriously, anyone thinking of learning Oracle should start with the one called 'Concepts' followed by 'Database Administrator's Guide' for potential DBAs, or 'Developer's Guide - Fundamentals' for potential developers. Then go back and re-read the Concepts manual.

That's BEFORE installing Oracle.

Then follow Oracle By Example found at http://otn.oracle.com (under 'Select Training'). That should provide enough background to _start_ learning to be a junior DBA or junior Programmer.
