I agree with Ryan.  The official Oracle documentation is good.  When 
I was in the Peace Corps in Africa I had never used Oracle before and
wanted to learn so I studied for the OCA exams by simply reading the 
SQL Reference and the Concepts (and skimming a few others..).  I had
the 1000+ page document printed on two reams of paper 'cause I couldn't
afford...  Well.. I'm getting off topic, but let's just say I'm still 
a beginner but my limited experience shows that the official 
documentation is quite good.
