Please, what else do I need apart from ebooks to study/practice SQL? |

You need a database engine to actually practice on. Mysql is free, but it seems your mind is set on oracle. |

Its a lighter version of the RDBMS but is sufficient for all your SQL or PL/SQL practice needs. Installation is a breeze: just click and follow the prompts till the end. (This isn't the case with oracle on linux installation) |

Kobojunkie: A Book? Are there no libraries out there?It's good to at least know some SQL basics before using libraries that abstract it. |

@OP: If you are bent on using Oracle, you download Oracle XE (Express Edition) Check this link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/express-edition/overview/index.html It is free to use without the hassles of a license too |
