Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Why this book is unique:

ORACOOKOOK readers have a need for information they can use right now. And our series of Oracle interview questions books is an answer to that need for instant information. Our books are written by Oracle practitioners and expert authors who have varied and vast experiences in the world of information technology.

Rather than focusing on comprehensive, textbook-sized or voluminous reference guides, ORACOOKBOOK includes only the information that can be used immediately by the reader in their job search or Oracle career. In this regard, the books are much shorter, and this is the overwhelming preference of our readers. Rather than providing more information, our books focus on providing the right information. ORACOOKBOOK Interview Question books can also be thought of as "cook books" in the traditional sense in that they provide the reader information in a very concise and useable manner, not unlike a recipe. In this way we hope we serve our readers by saving them time - by helping or readers understand what is important, and what they can safely ignore.

For instance, you might find our books particularly useful for gaining knowledge and understanding of a completely unfamiliar area of Oracle. By skimming the table of contents and index, you may quickly understand the most important aspects of a particular area, and also have access to the accumulated knowledge of our expert authors. It is the unique "Question and Answer" nature of the books that make them so valuable.

It can be said that, "If you can't find the right answers, maybe you're not asking the right questions..." Our books not only help the reader understand the answers, by providing explanations where applicable but also provide the right questions. Our books also include code listing and table references which set them apart - and keep them close at hand at work rather than collecting dust on the shelf.

Finally, ORACOOKBOOK books are published with several goals in mind which we believe set them apart from other sources of information. Our mission is to provide the reader with timely, useful information that will increase their technical literacy, increase the awareness of careers in information technology, and challenge our readers to question the status quo. All of our authors are ORA professionals - and we know that our books offer a great deal of value to our readers - we hope you find them as useful as we do!

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard To Believe It Was Ever Published, July 3, 2006

This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations: Oracle PL/SQL FAQ (Oracle Interview Questions) (Paperback)

While this book has some good material, the quality of proof reading and editing that went into it is simply appalling. Everyday English words are misspelled.

Whatever happened to subject-verb agreement?

Whatever happened to basic English?

You won't find any such things in this book.

Honestly, for the price being charged, it is just plain rip-off.

I have never seen a professional publication so badly, carelessly, and recklessly produced.

I have given it two stars only because some of the technical content is worthwhile. Otherwise, it would not even deserve one star.

Sorry, English matters.

5.0 out of 5 stars answers to my technical interview questions, not more, November 24, 2006

This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations: Oracle PL/SQL FAQ (Oracle Interview Questions) (Paperback)

In agreement with other reviers: this book is filled

with technical details about Oracle PL/SQL,

and it will certainly assist me in my job search. As a

beginner in Oracle, may of the publication that I find

are very technical. This guide is included in that list.

But I do find the information of some use.

The book is expensive, but I find that you get

what you pay for. It is worth the purchase.
