hi i am a beginner in database.i am graduating this semester from college but hard to get a job.i have taken a oracle class in college. but didn't learn a whole lot. can someone guide me where to begin or any free tutorials so that i can get going soon ..thanks i have some knowledge about creating tables and inserting values..

While not Oracle-specific, here are some good SQL sites:

SQL Tutorial

aboutSQL by John Ashenfelter
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/ct/19
"Provides information on SQL keywords, functions, tricks, and hacks"

SQLTeam.com
http://www.sqlteam.com
Site is mostly about SQL Server and includes forums.

paul, the jim hoffman tutorial used to be the only decent sql tutorial on the web

but jim hoffman disappeared, and so did his site, a couple years ago

you can still get it at archive.org, where the latest version is November 2001, 4.76

cyrusstcloud, you may find some more tutorials on my SQL Links page
