Hi,
Oracle basically has two developer certifications paths:
PL-SQL - It a certification language
test, like
SCJP Forms - Its is a proprietary web based GUI used by Oracle only.
The "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" (OCA) certification requiresd the following exams:
1Z0-001 Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL.
1Z0-147 Program with PL/SQL
I used the following books:
- Oracle 8i Certified Professional - SQL & PL/SQL Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-001)
Jason S. Couchman - ISBN 0-07-219153-8
- Very good book. Covers all the exam subjects
- Oracle Developer PL/SQL Program units exam guide (Exam 1Z0-101)
Steve O' Hearn - ISBN 0-07-219336-0
- Very good book as well. Unfortunately it covers only 80% of the exam. Some topics for 1Z0-147 are not covered. You have to search for additional sources.
I personally recommend, Feurstein books. They are the bible for any PL-SQL developer.

there were some old editions of PL-SQL books but still valid for certification purposes. Uunfortunately the page was deleted. I guess if you search in then net probably you will find them again.
