I've been using SQLJ for some time now, and there's no question SQLJ is going to be THE way to access an Oracle database using Java - SQLJ is a lot easier to use than JDBC.

This book introduces the subject of SQLJ and Oracle in a well organized manner, and also covers the advances features like including SQLJ in Enterprise JavaBeans. This book even covers the new Oracle9i features.

Up to this point, I was frustrated by the lack of decent books on SQLJ. One of the things I really liked about this book is that the programs and database scripts actually work!

If you want to learn SQLJ, this is the ONLY book worth buying.

I was able to be productive with SQLJ after just 2 days with this book. I found it easy to follow and I was able to download and use the examples from the O'Reilly website.

This book is a great read, and I was particularly impressed with the Oracle9i SQLJ features. I also liked the overall structure of the book: the author really knows his stuff, and writes in an easy to understand style.

According to the preface, it was also technically reviewed by the SQLJ team at Oracle, and the writer works at Oracle, so you feel like your getting the inside info.

I just got this book, and it rocks! I've just started learning SQLJ (I heard about it from a friend), and I was able to going with it quickly using this book. I can't wait to get to the advanced stuff.

A wonderfully pragmatic approach to Oracle's implementation of the SQLJ standard. I really appreciated the focus on Oracle Object Types and Collections. Concepts are addressed with just the right amount of theory and examples. I've read alot of animal books and this is one of the best. I know I sound like the author's brother writing this review, but this book really is awesome.

My knowledge of Oracle and Java is beginner/intermediate level and I like this book a lot.

The book explains how SQLJ relates to SQL, PL/SQL, Java, JDBC and it provides a good introduction to the JDeveloper IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

The book is written very clearly and the appearance and organization of the text is well up to the O'Reilly standard.
I can't comment on the worked examples yet as I have not yet tried them out.

This is just an easy read with good code examples. It is geared toward the intermediate or beginner programmer, and presents clear explanation for easy understanding.

This is an outstanding book. SQLJ is a simpler way of embedding SQL statements in a Java programming, and is possibly the successor to PL/SQL.

I liked this book because it covers SQLJ programming, as well as:
1. Oracle SQL.
2. Oracle PL/SQL.
3. Oracle JDeveloper.
4. Developing J2EE components for the Oracle9i Application server (9iAS) such as EJB, servlets and JSP.
5. Java stored procedures.

I liked the author's writing style: it is clear and to the point. I found it very easy to read, and was able to follow the examples in the book and apply them to my own programs.

I highly recommend this great little book!

This is a great book if you are interested in building J2EE applications and want to link to an Oracle database but don't want to learn the complicated JDBC API. It isn't an 'intro to programming' book like so many out there; it is, however, perfect for object-oriented programmers who are wanting to learn java with a quikness. Finally, a great SQLJ book has emerged!

I found this book to be concise, to the point, and very readable. A large amount of material was well presented in a relatively small amount of space. And the examples worked as advertised.

I found myself incorporating the material presented into my work before I finished reading the book.

An excellent resource.
