Beyond SELECT * FROM? Probably not at all?

Do you know the difference between ROWID and ROWNUM? Do you know when to use IN or EXISTS? Do you know how to properly use SET operators?

Stop the fraud and admit to your friends, while they still are, that Oracle is very different from what you know and they should find someone to teach it to them that actually understands the beast.

If you are sincerely intersted in learning it ... start at http://tahiti.oracle.com and read the concepts documents.
