Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
These two guides distill the essential features of the newest version of the complex and weighty Oracle database. For absolute beginners, Beginner's Guide aims in straightforward language to reduce the intimidation factor by covering basic concepts, from architecture to using XML with Oracle databases. Step-by-step projects, chapter mastery checks, and test-yourself progress checks aid in self-study; "Ask the Expert" sidebars and notes add extra information without interrupting the flow. Highly recommended for public libraries. Essentials serves more as a basic reference for existing Oracle users, with chapters organized largely into lengthy definitions and explanations of features. It will also be of use to ambitious beginners and will particularly help upgraders. The authors highlight 10g features that differ from those in the older 8i and 9i versions, while tips, tables, and notes throughout add useful information. An appendix includes a chapter-by-chapter summary of new 10g features, and the title ends with a nice overview of grid computing (the "g" in 10g). For medium and larger libraries.
