From the preface
"My strategy for tackling problems is the same regardless of the
version of Oracle with which I am working, so when you read this book
you don't really have to worry about which version of Oracle you are
using. "
I have to say that I think if I were recommending a book to start with
- especially for someone who is new to Oracle but not to the field in
general - I'd go for Expert One on One Oracle from Tom Kyte.
I haven't read DBA 101 (sorry Rachel) but that ought to be a pretty
good foundation type book as well.
