Hi
It seems u are new and going to study Oracle.From your query its clear that u are looking DBA track.My sugession better go for Oracle DBA course materials which is published by Oracle university itself.This is simple and its covering most of the topics with beautiful presentation.
SQL
Fundamentals 1
Fundamentals 11
Performance turning
Pl\sql
You will get this from Oracle's authorised training centers.

These errors are ignorable, Oracle just trying to drop the package before creating them. If this is the first time you run catproc.sql, the errors are expected.

Best Book on ORACLE SQL for a Beginner?

Hi friends ....I have just finished my graduation....(BE ELECTRONICS) .....I am dead serious about mastering ORACLE DATABASE......I have basic idea about ORACLE....Yesterday I just installed Oracle 10g Release 2 for VISTA...I just wanted to know which is the best book for a beginner who want to master ORACLE SQL....?????/

its Tutor as well.....But Last word.......Which is
"the" book for a beginner amongst all the SQL books
suggested by my dear friends........It ALL depends on what your short, medium and long range objectives are.
For example: do you want to be
- an Oracle DBA expert;
- an Oracle database programming expert;
- a general database programming expert with a specialty in Oracle;
- an Oracle application programming expert;
- a general application programming expert?
Personally I would encourage being a general database programming expert with a specialty in Oracle. This is probably the rarest of the group, the least understood, and the most needed in the industry. If you were to follow that path, I'd recommend a very very strong grounding in SQL - which 99% of all programmers I've met do NOT have - before moving forward to any procedural enhancement to SQL (such as PL/SQL, Java, TransactSQL, etc.)
I am the first to propose Tom Kyte's books in the right situations, which usually include:
- dealing with someone already reasonably competent in SQL and development;
- someone who thinks that porting from SQL Server to Oracle is a snap, since they are all 'just different dialects of SQL', or;
- someone who is seriously looking for guidelines on approaching Oracle application development and tuning.
For a complete beginner, my list of books stands in my preferred order (one at a time), with the addition - at the end - of Tom's books.

What are the BEST books for Oracle database architect/designer?

What concrete books would you recommend for OLTP database developer (to start from the scratch, starting from data sources analysis, logical and physical data modeling, indexes, tuning, maintaining). It doesn't have to be a book particulary for Oracle but suitable for it..
I don't mean books DBA's or overall Oracle handbooks, also not for OLAP.
Thanks!

For learning how to use Oracle database effectively, i would say
Tom Kyte's both books:
Effective Oracle by design
& Expert Oracle Database Architecture
Jonathan Lewis's
Practical Oracle 8i
They tell you all the stuff: what/how to do something? and most importantly what/how not to do ?
And their writing style is just awesome :)

Oracle 10g Admin-I is done, what next?

Hi,
I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL. Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?
Plz suggest.
Regards

Your question is not really clear. I'm going to take some guesses at what you mean and what you are asking
I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL.I'm guessing that by this you mean that you have passed two Oracle certification exams, presumably:
*1Z0-007     Introduction to Oracle9i SQL*
and
*1Z0-042     Oracle Database 10g: Administration I*
Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II I'm assuming that you are asking if you can take the following exam:
*1Z0-053     Oracle Database 11g: Administration II*
This exam is on a different track than 1Z0-042. The two cannot be combined for any certification.
or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam To complete the Oracle 10G certification, you must pass the following exam:
*1Z0-043     Oracle Database 10g: Administration II*
The exam itself is not instructor-lead, so I don't know what you mean by that. In addition to passing the test, you must attend instructor-lead training. The courses valid for the 10G track can be found here:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#2
and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?Once you have your 10G certification, you can upgrade to having an 11G OCP certification by passing the following exam:
*1Z0-050     Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators*

Plz suggest book for Oracle - SQL and Oracle PL/ SQL

Hello Experts,
Please suggest me the best book(s) for Oracle - SQL
As well,
For the Oracle - PLSQL
searched on the net but bit confused.
Thanks in advance................

i got the following book..

SQL Fundamentals I
Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) by John Watson
Roopesh Ramklass.
please let me know other books of this series...Just downloading/purchasing the Books is not going to help you learn SQL. You will have to read and practice.
My take is:
1. Oracle Documentation -- Download from Here
2. Effective Oracle by Design by Tom Kyte (Might have to purchase it as its not available for free download).
Once you read these and practice simultaneously, you would be able to grasp much more than reading all the above 4-5 books mentioned.
Also, I would say, to read just one of the books at a time than to make a mess by reading all and understanding none.

Best beginner book for Oracle Application Express?

Hello Dear members,
I've got 12 years of experience developing Oracle applications using Oracle Forms and PL/SQL, that bit I'm an expert.
But I'm torn between which book to buy to learn Oracle Application Express.
The Expert Oracle Application Express vs Oracle Apex Cookbook is my main competition.
I'm already doing the 2 day Developer guide, but want to go in a bit deeper.
All of your suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Ravi

Ravi,
If you are not at all familiar with Application Express i would reccomend getting Beginning Oracle Application Express 4 because you will find that Pro Oracle Application Express 4, Second Edition, Expert Oracle Application Express and Oracle Apex Cookbook assume you have more of an unserstanding and some parts wont make sense. I had friend of mine get an advanced book and then immediately go back and get the beginner book because it just didnt have much meaning to him.
Thanks,
Tyson Jouglet

Best book on datamodeling, making my first ecommerce app

What is the best book I can read on datamodeling. Just want to make an advanced ecommerce sollution.
Thank you

I think David C Hay is the best starting point for learning about data modelling. He has published a couple of books. If you click on[b]this link you'll find his web site which has some useful articles (free registration required).
For a more theoretical introduction to databases and relational theory I think you could do a lot worse than Chris Date's new book from O'Reilly. Not that I've read it cover-to-cover yet, but what I've read of it is sound, and Date is an acknowledged expert (he's former colleague of the Ted Codd of 12 Rules fame).
I don't know of any good books on modelling Oracle specifically. However, Tom Kyte's Effective Oracle by Design (of AskTom fame) will tell you a lot of what you need to know. If you want to get seriously into the coding then PL/SQL Programming by Steven Feuerstein (Whom God Preserve) is your only man.
BTW I'm not on commission from O'Reilly, in my experience they are usually the best (and best value) books on the topic, whatever that topic is.
Good luck, APC
