You don't have to spend money on getting Personal Oracle 7. You can download a 90 day trial verion of the database from Oracle's web site:

If you want books to get you up to speed I recommend: Oracle: A beginner's guide -- Oracle Press Developing Personal Oracle 7 Applications -- SAMS Publishing   (Includes a CD which contains the 90 day trial version of the    database) Received on Sun Apr 06 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
