How much money do you want to spend? Oracle training is great ... but very pricey. Some 3rd party vendors offer the same kinds of classes for less money. For a moderate amount of money, go to your local bookstore and get Tom Kyte's One-on-One book (even has some stuff for the sql server guru). There are also many other Oracle books available (there's a series of Oracle 101 books that are introductory in nature). If you don't have a local bookstore, you can check Amazon.com. For free, you can read all the Oracle-written documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com. Received on Thu Dec 05 2002 - 12:04:37 CST
