Likely some will find this response 100% predictable and they are correct. Go to:
http://tahiti.oracle.com - choose your version and ask your questions also

http://docs.oracle.com
http://technet.oracle.com
http://otn/oracle.com

and finally ... purchase a copy of Tom Kyte's book "Expert one-on-one Oracle" and read the first three chapters without skipping a sentence. The rest of the book is good too ... but you have a lot of unlearning to do if you want to be successful with Oracle.
