Morning Blair,

If you have access to an Oracle database somewhere, then start with the SQLPLus utility and read the Oracle Concepts manual first. For additional and highly recommended reading, two books by Tom Kyte (and others) that you *msut* have are :

Beginning Oracle Programming
Expert one on one Oracle

Don't be put off by the titles, they are both relevant. Please be aware that they are published by Wrox Press whose parent company recently folded, so they are now out of print - get down to your local bookshop and snap up a copy of each - you won't regret it.

You can download Oracle software for learning purposes free of charge and with no time restrictions from Oracle at http://otn.oracle.com you will have to create an account for yourself, but this is free and you do not get spammed. From there you can get hold of technical articles, white papers, forums (fora ?), software, and the complete set of docs - free !

Enjoy !

Regards,
Norman.
