I understand, that Oracle implements the database concept differently that a simple database like mysql, but honestly I do not know it exactly. Where can I find a good description, how oracle implements his database?

I was asking this question, because in our company we would install a db instance via a client. Thats the reason.

In our company there was a propose for a good oracle book. Can you give me a good advise, which book to buy?
