Looking for a BOOK!

Hi everyone,

I have extensive experience in RDBM systems (INGRES). I'd like to pick up a book that sort of teaches me ORACLE without touching on normalization, SQL and all the other standard relational stuff. I am interested in things like:

• What does an ORACLE installation consists of
• What is a table's physical implementation
• What is a database's physical impl.
• How to navigate the data dictionary
• Is there a MASTER database
• etc.

What would be the learning curve for someone like myself? What are the chances of picking up on things without having access to an ORACLE installation?

Thank you.
