Really please take the time to buy and read a couple of Tom Kyte's books. It would probably be a better use of your time and you would have something permanent.

The first thing you need to understand is that you want to harness the power of Oracle not do things in some kind of database neutral type of interfacing.

Start by tossing out all your preconceived ideas of how you would do it in some other environment.
