5.0 out of 5 stars Oracle DB 10g, September 26, 2007

By	Christopher J. Snow "Self proclaimed Geek" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I started with the book and the CD due to the thought of getting a ground rules idea of what Oracle is about. I did notice several areas where SQL code was used but other than that it is a powerful tool. The "Express" edition really gives you an idea of how powerful this database is. Once you complete the Express edition, go to Oracles website and download the Personal Edition for free and get the whole kit and kaboodle!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, June 7, 2007

By	R. Benson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book was well written and very methodically built the topic. I would have liked to have an introductory overview section/chapter that illustrated how the topics come together, and an example of an end result.
