I taught myself Oracle. I had used other databases before, but never touched any sql rdbms prior to purchasing Oracle. The Oracle docs (30 of them), disks and cd-roms showed up and in I jumped. The system has now been up for two years and I am still the only dba/system administrator/nextwork manager employeed. I am in the process of migrating the system over to Oracle7 on several Sparc 10s.

So, "YES", you can teach yourself Oracle and it can work. Good luck!
