I used Oracle, The Complete Reference from Oracle Press. It has
examples for lots of stuff, but no actual exercises. It also has a
fairly complete list and description of commands and terms. Also
included is most of the data dictionary views and what they contain.
It's not a great book, but it is a very useful book especially if you
generaly know how relational databases work.
