A great tutorial book!

Our class used it and it was great! There are 10 chapters and each chapter will get you running in no time. They use the same two tables throughout the chapter so you are familiar with the tables. Introduces triggers,PL/SQL coding - basic stuff. By the end of the 6th chapter you can program a pretty decent application. Great for the beginning Oracle user with a little knowledge about sql and database theory. I felt it brought you along each chapter. Only minus is the price. Too much compared to other books but this book is the most complete for the beginner.

Good start for beginners

This book really helped me understand Oracle from the very beginning. At the same time it gives you an introduction to all aspects right from sql to pl/sql to DBA concepts etc. It also gives you a headstart for web based applications which is a big bonus! Its a well rounded book for those who need a start and want to be experts in Oracle.
