I second to Someoneelse's reply that you must start with that product version which is supported now and will be supported in the future , atleast for some time. This includes both 10g , 11g and both are freely available for download at http://otn.oracle.com.
That said, for anyone who is starting with Oracle, one must bookmarked site is , http://tahiti.oracle.com. This is Oracle's documentation which is free and very helpful. Out of this, in the first place, you should start reading Concepts Guide. This would make you understand what Oracle is and how it works. But, docs can be very boring and long to read so besides this, I shall recommend to buy these 2 books ,
http://www.amazon.com/Expert-One-Oracle-Thomas-Kyte/dp/1861004826
http://www.amazon.com/Expert-Oracle-Database-Architecture-Programming/dp/1590595300/ref=pd_sim_b_2
Both are by Thomas Kyte. These books will help you in getting an overall picture with some very good insight which at times, is missing from docs. Besides all this, this forum is always there where you can bring your doubts.

Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g DBA

Hi.This is Tejaswi.
I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

Hello Tejaswi,
The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
By Jonathan Gennick
Publisher : O'Reilly
ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
Oracle SQL by Example
By Alice Rischert
Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.
HTH,
John.

You may not agree with it, but it doesn't mean you have to be abusive.Well if you feel your point is valid and you're not just trolling, then please provide evidence or justification to back up your claims.
If I were you I wouldn't bother learning Oracle - it's just a constant life of bug-fixingBugs can exist in any development environment. It isn't specific to Oracle, Microsoft or any other company.
Bugs in the product are typically fixed with regular patches and most companies make those readily available, so there's no issue there.
Bugs in the software developed with the product are the responsibility of the developer and are not an issue with the product itself. Good design, understanding and testing make for good application development. The product on assists to facilitate the development, not to ensure that there aren't idiots developing using it.
and trying to get assistance from Oracle Support.What's the problem getting assistance from Oracle Support? Can't say I've ever had any real problems with them. They've always been most amenable. From what I gather, most people have issues with support when they themselves don't provide the necessary information to detail the issue in the first place.
There are too many people learning Oracle these days (because it's pretty easy), and most jobs are getting out-sourced anyway.There are too many people getting certification and calling themselves Oracle developers/dba's and they don't have relevant experience, that's true, but that doesn't just relate to Oracle, it relates to many areas of IT (and I'm sure many other businesses too).
Oracle is as easy as the depth you get into it. The deeper you go the more complex it can be. It's good that it's easy to get into as nobody want to come into learning a product that is just overly complex, but it's also good that it offers the power, flexibility and complexity when it is necessary.
As for many jobs getting out-sourced, I guess that depends on your country and the economic climate and the nature of your business. I think there's a little less out sourcing going on lately as companies are beginning to realise that outsourcing their development often leaves them with unmaintainable, bug ridden code, written by people who don't care about the bussiness, but just care about getting money in their pockets. Of course there are still companies where the management just see a cheap short term option and go for it anyway, which is sad really.
Saying all that however, you're points are certainly no reason to not bother learning Oracle. Your points could be applied to any product on the market. Hence why they came across as trolling.

How fast is it possible to learn Oracle if I'm proficient in mySQL?

Hi ladies and gents,
I am planning on creating an estate agency website. I have about 3 months to do that. I did computer science in uni, so i know java, c++, SQL, x/html, html, a bit of javascript, css. I bought a PHP and Oracle book.
My question is, considering the fact that I have never created a website with a fully functional database on, how long does it normally take for experience people to create such a site?
If I am a fast learner would I be able to do it in 3 months? I am really scared that I am taking on a challenge that I will not be able to handle. I will be fully committed and obviously will be spending day and night on designing and coding the site.
Finally the most important question I want people to answer is this, if I am already proficient in SQL, will learning Oracle take much time? Can I not do the site with SQL instead of Oracle at the moment?
Massive "Thanks" to any who answers my questions. I am mainly interested in your views so any reply will be welcome.

I've no idea on the project, having never done anything like that myself, but a working knowledge of SQL, whilst handy, isn't the be all and end all of working with a database.
Firstly, you've got to get the design of the database right - normalised tables, primary keys, foreign keys, etc. Getting that right makes the rest of your job much easier!
Secondly, a lot depends on the database you're working with. You'd take a different approach SQL / code wise when using Access than you would when using Oracle. So, you'd have to get familiar with the capabilities of your particular database platform in order to be able to make the best use out of it. (For example, Oracle has a different method of ensuring read consistency than MS SQL Server does, and what you can do in one big SQL statement in Oracle, you would break up into smaller queries and use temporary tables to hold the data.)
Thirdly, the SQL used in each database platform is slightly different - most of it is standard, but there are bolt-ons which are not the same across the databases (eg. in the case of Oracle, how you handle DATEs is not the same as how you'd do it in SQL Server, Sybase, etc.)
If I were you, I'd stick to using something that I knew, rather than trying to learn everything in 3 months! However, if you were wanting to bolt a website onto an Oracle database, I believe APEX could well suit your needs.
