Great BEGINNER's Book

Those guys who panned this book don't get it -- This is a BEGINNER's book. They seem to be looking for advanced material, and this is certainly not the right book for that.But as I'm a rank Oracle beginner, this book helped ME get going FAST. Everything I needed to Install 8.1.5 out of the box on my NT server, and configure the Starter Database so I could begin writing SQL, was here.For my dollar, this book (and Oracle 8i for Windows NT Starter Kit, by Bobrowski) is everything "Oracle 8i for Dummies" should be but isn't.

Review of ORACLE NT Handbook

I was somewhat reluctant when I bought this book as I had read the unfavourable reviews about this book in your website.However, I am very happy to report the book contains the required information to install and to start up ORACLE 8. The explanation and diagrams are very clear and appropriate. Imagine my joy when I could verify the connectivity with SQL Worksheet. Even the version number is correct :it is 'PL/SQL Release 8.0.4.0.0 - Production' in the book and I got 'PL/SQL Release 8.0.5.0.0 - Production' as it should as the version I am using is ORACLE 8.0.5. The explanation on Enterprise Manager is very clear and easy to follow. As a new comer to ORACLE 8, I find this book very useful and I would recommend the book to any new comer wanting to install and to use ORACLE on Windows NT.

for a specific audience only

this book isn't suitable for inexperienced DBAs, but a DBA moving from Solaris to NT will find the differences between the two platforms apparent enough that a reference like this is very useful.

Good information on Enterprise Manager

This is the first book that I have seen with information on Oracle Enterprise Manager.
