PL/SQL is an extension of the SQL Language by Oracle. The extension consists mainly of Procedural stuff (hence, PL).
With PL/SQL you can write procedures the perform database updates, selects, write files, etc. Just as you could with a generic programming language. The benefit of PL/SQL is that the SQL part is integrated. In regular .NET you'd have to create a SQLCommand with the sql string, connect to the DB, execute the command, and finally process the data. With PL/SQL you simply splatter sql statements all over the place and they are executed.
I personally found Beginning PL/SQL: From Novice to Professional pretty helpfull in getting my feet wet when I started working with Oracle E-Business.
That said, I hate PL/SQL just as much as E-Business. Avoid it if possible.
