Good book for Oracle 9i DB for beginner/intermediate ???

[Siberian Cableman]

Hi Everybody,

Could you recommend me good books for Oracle 9i Database?

I need one book for Administering Oracle 9i for beginnes/intermediate, and another one for Oracle development (PL/SQL I think) for same beginners/intermediate. Or it may be one book that covers both topics.

To advice me a good book, you have to know my skills :I am familiar with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 /T-SQL, plus I was even able to install Oracle 9i on Solaris 9 using Google

Thanks,
Alex

p.s. I understand that this is a huge heap of books, but I want to get some basic generic knowledge how to work/administer/writing some quires for Oracle 9i.

"Oracle 9i for Dummies"

Just kidding ...

Oops, а ведь этот шедевр действительно существует

Неплохие книжки у меня на полке:
Tomas Kyte. Expert one-on-one Oracle (правда это до 8.1.7, но материал уж больно хорошо изложен)
Dillon, Beck, Kyte. Beginning Oracle Programming.

Одна проблема с этими книжками: обьем немерянный. Впрочем, каков материал ...
