RECOMMENDED FOR NEWCOMERS TO ORACLE

Oracle can be quite intimidating to the uninitiated. Anyone undertaking work in this environment for the first time needs a friendly and helpful companion, and Understanding the Oracle Server fits the bill admirably. Studying this book in conjunction with the definitive technical documentation from Oracle Corporation has enabled me to gain a deeper appreciation of Oracle than any other database product I've used in my 25+ years in the computing industry. Although slightly dated now, this book is remarkable in that it still manages to achieve nearly everything it sets out to. Thoroughly recommended.

FANTASTICALLY CLEAR PRESENTATION OF ORACLE SERVER

As an NT Consultant with advanced LAN/WAN knowledge and some SQL background , I needed a book that would get me up to speed with Oracle FAST. Marina's book was so easy to follow that I was able to complete it in only a few days. I gained not only a good understanding of hard to understand concepts in Oracle, but also, found its numerous SQL code examples mostly (hence a 9) practical. I feel so much more comfortable with a new contract requiring me to manage 400 new Oracle Installations on NT. I plan to use this book as a constant review before tackling other more advanced books dedicated to specific areas, covered in Marina's book.
