I'd upgrade from 9.0.1 to 9.2 but that's not a big issue.

Start with the Oracle concepts and architecture information available at http://tahiti.oracle.com

Then create a project for yourself ... something you could easily accomplish in DB2 and do it in Oracle the Oracle way.

If there is a college or university in your area with a continuing ed program check it out for classes.
