Looking for information on training... Workgroup 2000 products

In preparation of a training agenda for myself, I've stumbled upon a need for some Oracle training..... their Education center is to contact me sometime today and help me work through their course selection and prepare a plan, but I thought turning to the trenches for input may prove to be more beneficial.

I am a programmer having worked in Cobol, RPG, dBase, Basic, VBA, Pascal and have worked with ODBC somewhat as well as Cobol<->BTrieve environments.

What I am hoping to accomplish is to provide myself with a complete understanding of Oracle where I could take a box off the shelf and do all of the items a Database Administrator and Applications Programmer would have to offer. My SQL experience is limited to Access queries SQL statements.

I've seen the Masters path, and realized that I would need a cross-functional path that would involve the details needed to implement Oracle Workgroup 2000 products, beginning with Access->Personal Oracle/Workgroup Oracle and eventual migration to Visual Basic Pro 4.0. A later date would then involve migration to C++.

Anyone that can offer any input, guideance, or training providers, please e-mail me or post to this newsgroup.
