Glenn,
- Oracle has its own extensions to ANSI `92 SQL (see the book in #2 below, for more info.
- The Complete Oracle Reference - Electronic Edition, Oracle Press This book comes in hardback form Oracle Version 8.0, and softbound for Oracle 7.3. I highly recommend this book!!! For more info visit: http://www.oracle.com OR http://www.amazon.com
- Start out using Oracle's SQLPlus, then check out SQL Navigator Pro (i think it's at: http://www.quests.com )
Good luck!
John Ellard
