Oracle9i: The Complete Reference Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the one I've been waiting for. It's got coverage of the 9i features like external tables and updates the older chapters to include features. I hadn't even heard about multitable inserts before this book. The CD has 9i R2 docs as well as the book scripts. Overall, more in-depth coverage than the 9i New Features book but the new features are more integrated to old text so you may have to read a little more but it's worth it.

Databases DeMYSTiFieD, 2nd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book and I'm going to teach out of it. It is clearer and more accessible than big database textbooks that cost $140 (which the students never read anyway.) Plus, it has great screenshots and covers both Mysql qnd Microsoft Access. But what I really like is how much design he put into it. It covers a lot of the really essential items and is a pleasure to read.

Oracle Database 10g SQL (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I liked this book because it covers Oracle 10g SQL as well as PL/SQL, that's great because it saved me buying two separate books!
I was able to download the code from the website and follow along with all the examples with no problem. I especially liked the coverage of the 10g specific features, such as the new MODEL clause and the new 10g database types (BINARY_DOUBLE and BINARY_FLOAT).
All in all, a great book.
