A decent, high level concepts intro, and one that provides the grounding that is required before you hit the Oracle manuals is O'Reilly's "Oracle Essentials" (http://oracle.oreilly.com)

Many of our esteemed colleagues recommend excellent books. But I find these tend to be for people familiar with the concepts already - they remind me of the quote attributed to Helen Keller (paraphrased) "The trouble with using a dictionary for spelling is that you need to know how to spell a word before you can use the dictionary."
