If You can afford it, take a class on Oracle basics.

If not, read a book that might be suitable for You. Then, I would suggest O´Reilly books,
e.g. "Oracle in a Nutshell" or "Oracle Essentials". IMHO they are some of the best introductions for newbees.

If You are interested in Developing, concentrate on PL/SQL and Java. You maybe want to know about
Oracle Developer Suite.

And for Your practice, download the software from Oracle on a evaluation license - it is free :)
If You have an Oracle database at Your company, ask Your DBA to have a Schema where You can
practice; if not, download the Oracle Database and install in on Your test PC.
