2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the beginner, August 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Database Construction Kit (Paperback)
This book was is written more as reference for someone with some introduction or reference point on this subject. Although it is marketed as a beginner book, it by no means is. The language is ambiguous and the examples skip around and are not fully explained. This was my text for an introductory Oracle class and it managed to confuse the student instead of support him/her.

1.0 out of 5 stars Keep Looking!, July 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Database Construction Kit (Paperback)
Horrible reference. The source code supplied with the book is full of bugs. The text contains numerous copy errors. The discussion on normalization is both erroneous and incomplete. Save your money!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Text. I use it almost every day!, August 28, 1999
This review is from: Oracle Database Construction Kit (Paperback)
After searching and searching for an easy-to-understand yet comprehensive book about Oracle and the Oracle development environment (especially PL/SQL and the suite of Developer 2000 tools); I feel quite fortunate to have finally found a solid and affordable book that bridges the gap between learning and practical use.

After using the book to complete two semester long courses: one in PL/SQL and another course in Developer 2000; I find myself turning to the text time and time again on an almost daily basis for reference as I work as as a project manager and a developer for an international consulting company. In fact, the material that I learned from the book helped me land a terrific position in e-commerce project management and development.

This book has proven itself to be an obvious addition to my personal library. When so many other books containing the same information cost two or three times as much; it is a must buy.

I only wish I had gotten so much from just one or two of the other books in my library.
