Oracle: The Complete Reference, Electronic Edition

I have found Dave at directaccess a real help and easy to deal with. His delivery of this text was prompt and as promised. He is an honest and relaible dealer and I would shop with him again anytime.The text was in like new condition as advertised. I also got additional comments from Directaccess on tutroing myself.

For anyone serious enough about Oracle & its possibilities

I have taught Intermediate Oracle & Relational Database Development using this book & find it quite detailed as a complete reference should be. While the later part of the book is literally an indespensible reference & the appendices offer a great deals about optimization, the book itself provides for very good coverage of the Oracle & SQL DDL & DML basics in addition to SQL*Plus coverage I have not found anywhere else. The end of part two, detailing triggers, procedures & snapshots is particuarly useful. A must have for every RDD & SQL developer, user & proponent out there!

Great book for anyone working with Oracle SQL

This book starts with a tutorial section that doesn't assume any Oracle knowledge, the 2nd half is reference. The online version on the CD is fairly clumsy in it's search capabilities.

This book is not for beginners.

If you are a beginner, this is not a book you are looking for. It is a wonderful reference book for Oracle database administrators.

The No.1 Oracle Encyclopedia : EXHAUSTIVE AND COMPLETE !

This is one of the very best books you will ever come across on Oracle. Current education units tend to make this powerful RDBMS seems very complex. This book really breaks all the hard stuff on Oracle apart - piece by piece - and presents to the reader and developer, in plain English, instead of the ever present tech. ambiguities that tend to make matters more confusing, the complete RDBMS environment in a way that really helps in harnessing the power of this RDMBS. And most important, the CD which accompanies this book contains this entire book. This will immensely help those who are mobile workers, in that they can keep the actual book at home and carry the Electronic Edition of the book on their Notebook. IT REALLY HELPS ME A LOT ..
