Oracle Beginnings - Where to Start?

Posted by Cliff on from the gotta-start-somewhere dept.

Scalli0n asks: "I'm a programmer with a solid computer science background, but I'd like to know where I should start with the behemoth that is Oracle - my bosses tell me that I need to learn it to store geodatabases (since I work with geospatial intelligence) and I have no clue where to start since nobody can even tell me of a good beginners book - any suggestions?"

    MySQL is functional enough. You think Oracle is better?, improve MySQL. My Freedom is more valuable than some technical benefits.

    1 - It's NOT.
    2 - My Freedom is more important than anything else. Argue with that.
