    Dont depends on this kind of silly question.If you wanna success bring 3 to 5 books on oracle from any store. Read any topics say, procedure , Read it thoroghly compare with other books,read it , practice it and then take interview questions. You become master.Understand each line,words and topics.Dont directly jump on this question ,reading is only the thing that bring you at the peak level.Reading is a one kind of process.
    Bye.
    Good Luck
