To do this justice, I'd suggest several books are required to fill this, although only the second in this list is really required, with chunks of the third. I'd recommend the following, in order, since you are a self-professed newbie.

Oracle Essentials, Third Edition

• I have only skimmed the last.

That should keep you set for a proper risk analysis <g>.
