I want to learn Oracle...

[MsLady]

for Development purposes.

I am wondering if anyone can give me a little advise on how or where to start.

I am intermediate on SQL, as you all know i am an Access Retard and i have the general Database knowledge, u know the normalization, relationships.. blah blah and all them principles.

Does anyone do Oracle here.

Did you have to take classes, books, etc.? any recommendations.

I want to get really good at it.. na mean ?
And hopefully i can get certified sometime in the coming year.

Please help.

I work with oracle, but not directly...

My suggestion is get ahold of a copy and just play.. see what you can do.

Just found this link a while ago

This might give you some idea of Oracle Dbases.

Cheers, Ron

You can get a free copy of Oracle to play with from the Oracle website. As far as I know, it's fully functional. You just have to promise not to use it to make money.
