Newbie question

[Quoted] Please pardon the cross posting.

[Quoted] I recently got Oracle installed on my Sparc and can't wait to get into it. The only problem is I have no experience and no real good references to draw upon. I still don't have a good method of getting it started once I init my machine other than calling our extremely busy DBA. [Quoted] Could someone please send me a small C program, like an Oracle version of hello world, that I can use to get an idea of how the API's work ? [Quoted] Also, if anybody could recommend some good books addressing Oracle admistration, and software development I would certainly appreciate it. I want to start by gaining a low level systems knowledge moving towards application development in a relatively short period of time. Also, any news group recommendations more in tune with my needs would be great too.
