In my earlier days, the manager would tell me to write a procedure
for buying something out of a Coca-Cola machine or write a procedure
for taking apart their product and putting it back together again.
For a company like Oracle, I assume that they would quiz you on
knowledge and terminology related to software and databases.
It looks like they have a lot of docs, tutorials, and demos on oracle.com,
so I'd start there. Get to know their products, review your database and
data structure fundamentals, and brush up on your java/SQL knowledge
(if it seems applicable). If you know the particular products that you'll be
working with, it might be good to focus in on those products.
