Oracle Database 10g provides neophytes with the fundamental concepts of Oracle Database 10g administration and programming. Through self-paced tutorials, readers will learn about database essentials, the role of the administrator, and large database features. Oracle Database 10g includes an in-depth introduction to SQL, PL/SQL, Java, and XML programming.
Reader Reviews
I have been a SQL Server DBA for years along with FoxPro, DB2, etc. But I still found this book very confusing. Is it just me or did the examples not match anything in the Oracle 10g sample database that I loaded? Plus the EM did not even look the same. What's with that? Kind of hard to do the examples when nothing matches. Worst beginners book I've ever read. If it wasn't for the fact that I was familiar with some of the concepts already, this book would have been totally useless. If you are a true beginner, look for a different book. This one won't help.
