I myself have just jumped into the world of Oracle...

The first book I strongly recommend is "Oracle...A beginner's guide" put out by Oracle Press. It explains the basics very well about the Oracle database engine, how it works, and the basics of most of Oracle's development software. I would also recommend the book "Oracle The Complete Reference" also put out by Oracle Press. You may be able to order those books by contacting Oracle's web site _at_ www.oracle.com.

It is imperative to have knowledge of PL/SQL which is Oracle's version of SQL which allows you to write programs manipulating the database tables. I highly recommend the book "PL/SQL Programming" by Steven Feurstein.
