Personally I'd suggest several things beginning with getting a course in
10g rather than 9i. But since you are where you are ... I personally
think Tom Kyte's books far superior to "The Complete Reference" ...
which isn't.
You need to check with your instructor ... but from where I sit as an
instructor ... http://tahiti.oracle.com is far superior t the Database
Admin. book too. I don't have my students buy any books for the course
except those by Kyte, Jonathan Lewis, and a few other members of the Oak
Table that "really" have something to say beyond just the syntax.
Another resource you might want to access is Morgan's Library which I
created for my students. You will find it at www.psoug.org.
Hope this helps.
