Oracle 8 - How to

Liked the book since it covered all the topics in a planned manner..by starting to explain what the topic is..explaining the topic by providing scripts..and then concluding with how!

This book explains in detail how to tackle a problem with lots of examples and ready pl/sql scripts.Its a must for devlopers and DBA's

This book is great for people who already know Oracle but just need to know the syntax for common DBA/developer operations. It is organized in such a way that from the table of contents you can quickly find what you need versus spending hours in the Oracle documentation.

This is an excellent resouce, a book that finally offers the specific information you need to bone up on Oracle. With numerous, well-explained examples, this book is an invaluable resource. While most computer books offer only vague generalities, and an annoying lack of real help on specific questions, this book gets right to the heart of the matter. This book is like a breath of fresh air in a market overcrowded with second-rate books.

The Oracle8 How-To is a book which succinctly details the elements of Oracle pragramming. Not since J. B. Guthries' Oracle6.0-- The Next Step has programming in this langauge been justly treated. The authors have given excellent examples that cover everything from command-line macros to programming for networked environments. Also, an overview of the new features of Oracle8 will assist even the most jaded programmer. Never have I enjoyed reading a guide to programming as much. I think it is easy to see the influence of the fresh ideas of the new authors.
