I used the Oracle 8i DBA Handbook, but since most of the concepts
carried over to 9i, it was all good. Amazon lists the Oracle 9i DBA
Handbook for $41.99.

The O'Reilly PL/SQL and SQLPlus books kick much ass. If you do Oracle work, you
need to know PL/SQL and SQLPlus.

_SQL - The Complete Reference_ is an awsome beginner's book. Yes, it
has some errors, but it has side-by side examples from most major SQL
databases, so you can easily apply what you know about, say, MySQL to
Oracle, since it illustrated both ways of doing things.

I've got a *PILE* of good SQL books at home - most of them talk about
Oracle, since Oracle is *THE* Enterprise database right now.
