By Mike Chapple, About.com

Looking for an Oracle reference book? Here are the top five books in the category.

1. Expert One-on-One Oracle

Tom Kyte has put together an excellent Oracle reference work. If you work with Oracle DBs, this book deserves a place on your shelf!

2. Oracle Essentials

This great book from O'Reilly and Associates offers a concise introduction to the full range of Oracle9i, Oracle8i and Oracle8's functionality -- something you won't find anywhere else on the shelves of your local bookseller.

3. OCP: Oracle9i Certification Kit

This book from Sybex is meant to be a certification prep guide for OCP candidates, but it also offers an excellent overview of Oracle technology. The major downside -- it comes with a hefty $100+ pricetag.
