starting out with Oracle -- can't find the Concepts Guide 1

[vadimg]

hi,
i'm working with oracle for the first time (after 5 years as sql\sybase dba). I'm being told that something called the 'Concepts Guide' is mandatory reading for beginner Oracle dbas. But i cannot track it down online anywhere. Please post a link if you know what it is.
Also suggestions on what else i should read would be appreciated.

thanks.

Hi,
For version 8i:

http://otn.oracle.com/pls/tahiti/tahiti.docindex

One of the best sites for Oracle Info
(If asked to Register for Technet, do so , it is an invaluable resource for Oracle - even if not asked from Tahiti, go to

http://otn.oracle.com

and register..It is full of good Oracle stuff)..

( In general to find docs/errors/etc start at:

http://tahiti.oracle.com)

Have fun learning
( and, to make the transition to Oracle easier, try to forget most of what you learned about SqlServer - altho' both are database systems, the differences are substantial in the way they operate and even in the terms they use to describe things )
