Database Application Development and Design [With CDROM]

Can be a bit wordy at times, but only because the subject matter is complex. Mostly, though, the book presents database concepts and theory in a concise, understandable manner.

I am currently working as DBA. When I was looking for a book to obtain a solid knowledge of Database and get familiar with Oracle DB, I finally the book I wanted. Of course this book is not Oracle book or Manual. I like extensive coverage of Oracle DB in this book. (Examples are also provided in Access DB.) If you want to learn Oracle DB and SQL, do not spent money in other Oracle books and SQL books. This book not only explain database principle clearly but also provide practical examples ,from which you can practice DDL and DML easily by constructing DB environment using scripts in CD. I want to recommand this book for all beginning DB applicaion developers and future DBAs.
