• There are three ways to get started, they are: formal training, self training and on-the-job training.

    1) Formal training, you know what I mean.

    2) Go to http://www.oracle.com, download Oracle sofware, install it and start practicing e.g. build your own lab. Oracle documentation is pretty clear and, it's for free!

    3) Find a job in a SQL Server / Oracle shop and ask your new boss to involve you in Oracle.

    Godspeed!
