Wanted to know if there is any good book containing ample of exercises/assignments on basic Oracle SQL.

Open the above link and read "PL/SQL Books". Here you will get Sample Chapter PDFs, download them, read and do practice.

Suggested books/video series for learning oracle sql?
What are some good books/ videos for a beginner to learn oracle sql?
I learn best by being able to go through exercises.
I am using Oracle 11g express edition and sql developer. In sql developer I have only one connection to the HR schema.
Also, can I connect to the SCOTT schema in oracle 11g?Hi,
The SQL Language reference is a great book, but its a bit dry for a beginner.
How about starting with the Getting Started and 2 Day guides here
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/index.htm
There are a lot of tutorials here as well
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:1:0::NO
google will also bring up lots of hits as well

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. -
All,
I am new in SQL Tuning. Can anyone suggests any good book / pdfs / links to start the work in tuning.

Good book for learning pl/sql quickly
Please suggest me a good book that covers all aspects of pl/sql in depth.
Thanks in advance. :-)A good book for learning PL/SQL quickly?
That is not a function of the book. That is a function of your ability to learn and understand new concepts. No book can make you learn "faster".
Also, even before trying to learn PL/SQL, there are concepts and fundamentals to understand. Specifically:
- [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Concepts
- [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals
- [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/toc.htm]Oracle® Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
And after that, also have a look at Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects, Application Developer's Guide - Object-Relational Features. Not to mention the SQL Reference and the PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference guides.
All available via http://tahiti.oracle.com -
Hi Folks,
please suggest good books and any links to learn oracle database adminstration.
thanks,
Mike.First read the 11.2 Concepts Guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25789/toc.htm (co-author is Tom Kyte one of best Oracle DB expert and "explainer").
Then you should read the Admin. Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/toc.htm
and
the Backup and Recovery Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/toc.htm
If you want to a buy a book for beginners I recommend Beginning Oracle Database 11g Administration 11G http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590599683/#reader_1590599683.
And of course, practice, practice, and .... practice. -

hi experts,
I am new to oracle dba field. Can you please suggest methe name of a good book.
Regards
RajatMaybe the best thing would be a course? Books are fine, but you will probably learn quicker by example. There are some reasonable CD-ROM/DVD courses out there (not naming any). Google for some and check their rating. I know of no single book that would offer as much as a decent course. Once you are up to speed, then, yes, you'll be seeking out the better books. Finally, the 2-day guides in Oracle's docs. are really worth reading, and re-reading. But the docs, by themselves, are a bit dry. If you can afford an Oracle University course, or (my preference) Learning Tree (and, no, I do not work for them, etc.), then go for that - you won't regret it.
All IMHO!
