Single handiest book you can own as Oracle Developer!

This is a great book! I was former Webmaster and lead CGI programmer at a fortune 500 company and currently am development manager on a team writing and developing Oracle Web applications. This book is the most used Oracle book I own! I must have over a dozen Oracle books and this book rules! It is not advanced but 98% of the time I am able to get the information I need for what I am trying to do. The writer is a good teacher and one could use this to learn and become very proficient in the use of Oracle from a developemnt standpoint. Other critics here have said it is too basic and I agree it is basic but not too basic to be very useful. I heartily recommend this book to anyone learning Oracle or who needs a one volume easy to use reference for Oracle.

Excellent for Oracle starters

I've been learning great thing from this book. Starts from basic to complex, explains everything a new person to Oracle wants to know.

Great Book!!!! A must for anyone new to Oracle

A great book with loads of information for the new database person. Exceptional examples that work and is well explained. The CD did not work. In short, buy this book if you want to learn SQL and Oracle. This book fails in providing developers with strong information on how to develop an Application with Personal Oracle

Great if you're new to databases. Five stars plus!!!!

This book is excellent for someone new to databases. The examples work (The CD doesn't though), and the author brings you along from begining steps to understanding databases to more advanced PL/SQL. Five stars isn't enough. The book falls short on explaining how to integrate databases with Visual Basic, Powerbuilder etc. Don't buy this book to learn how to integrate client/server apps. Use it as a study guide to get into Oracle.

A great tool!!!!

This has been a very useful tool. It's the type of book that you want to have on your desk at all times. I found it to be very informative and easy to use. This book is perfect if you are new to Personal Oracle 7 and PL/SQL!!!
