1 month to understand oracle? I'd say 1 day to get it installed (don't let it create the database using the "copy a database method"), and another day or two to get used to the oracle oddities. The graphical tools will let you do most things without to much problem, if you were using sqlplus to to everything then maybe a month might make sense. And JDBC 2 weeks? Not even, perhaps a day, but that's on the outside (I'm guessing you just mean connecting to the database).
