2.0 out of 5 stars Useless Reference, January 22, 2002
By 
MR MARK C WILLIS (Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle8 Black Book: The Oracle Professional's Guide to Implementing the Object-Oriented Features of Oracle8 (Paperback)
I am not an experienced DBA, but mainly a Java developer. However I thought this book would be a useful reference when doing any Oracle related development projects. I was greatly mistaken. Myself, or my colleagues have never found anything useful in it. So if you want a good Oracle reference, I'd look elsewhere!

2.0 out of 5 stars Shovelware At Its Worst, April 10, 2000
By 
DavidLJ (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle8 Black Book: The Oracle Professional's Guide to Implementing the Object-Oriented Features of Oracle8 (Paperback)
I have no idea what the other reviewers of this book are thinking. I feel seriously mislead, and am returning the book for credit. This is shovelware at its worst, a random unedited pile of hacks, thinks, and yawns thrown together without thought, direction or inspiration. It should never have been published. Books like this are what keeps those Giant Computer Book Sale operations in business.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where are the Scripts on the CD?, April 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle8 Black Book: The Oracle Professional's Guide to Implementing the Object-Oriented Features of Oracle8 (Paperback)
The book is good, but I have one big question!! Where are the scripts on the CD? It says on the back cover that there are "200 scripts for use with Oracle8" on the CD. I can't find them. Are you expected to handjam them out of the book onto a disk?
