2.0 out of 5 stars Not an advanced-level book, July 15, 1997

By A Customer

While providing a good overview, this book does not provide the information needed for a developer to be productive in Oracle. This is not the book that a serious developer needs sitting by his left elbow as he is coding. I was disappointed in the lack of detailed information in this book. From other 'Unleashed' books, I have come to expect detailed explanations of language elements, and sample code showing how to accomplish real tasks. Language elements are not sufficiently explained; and, while some knowledge can be gleaned from the sample code, the examples were just way too simple to be useful. This book tries to accomplish too much. The first half tries to be a DBA guide, and the second half, a developers guide - as a result, both are given short shrift. Were this book called 'Oracle 7 Overview', it would have served its purpose.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shallow read, March 15, 2000

By	charles_anderson@csgsystems.com (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This book tries to cover everything. Thus each topic is covered only breifly. The orginization and wording is passible at best. This book is not really for beginners but for the times when we forget the simple tasks.

On the plus side, it is one of the few reference books with precompilers in it.
