Hi Everyone,

I've done some searching on the forum/group here and I'm having a hard time trying to find a book that suits my needs. I'm looking for a book that I can use/reference to find how to use all of the various SQL commands in Oracle. I've had prior experience in Transact-SQL in my last job writing against a MS SQL Server. The book that I found and love is "The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL" by Ken Henderson. This book, IMHO, is the best, definite guide on how to query a database.

Link here:
http://www.amazon.com/Gurus-Guide-Transact-SQL-Ken-Henderson/dp/0201615762/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-2354524-8312132?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183663381&sr=8-2

I'm trying to find this same book for Oracle, but I'm not sure if one exists. What I'm not looking for is a book that teaches you the administrative side of an Oracle server/db, database tuning, etc. I'm looking for a book that teaches all of the SQL commands (select, insert, pivot tables, subquerying, etc), how they work, and what the syntax is.

Is there anything out there that has this?

Thanks
