I also have just started in Oracle PL/SQL and have found that this book,
"Oracle PL/SQL Programming" Second Edition by Steven Feuerstein with Bill
Pribyl is great in going over the language.  I found it through Amazon.com

I learned SQL many many years ago using a book called "SQL and Its
Applications"  by Raymond A. Lorie and Jean-Jacques Daudenarde.  I still keep
this book because it stays independent of a particular database and focuses on
SQL.  All new programmers coming in to my company are given the book to start
learning.

Hope this helps!
