Accessing data in Oracle tables

Question

Can someone point me to books or tutorials that would cover the various ways of incorporating data in Oracle tables into ArcGIS applications?  I know that you can do things like create feature classes from Oracle tables, but I would really like to know and be able to utilize all the ways this could be done.  I'm an Oracle DBA with some training in ArcGIS, so I have some knowledge of the Arc world, but I need more concrete examples than what I've seen in classes.

Thanks,
Harry

Am I wrong in thinking that query layers are going to be the preferred way of including external database data in GIS apps?  They just seem like such a better way of incorporating database data.  Are there situations where they wouldn't be appropriate?

Thanks,
Harry
