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.
