5.0 out of 5 stars Very good technical reference, May 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle8 Developer's Guide (Paperback)

This book has a very good balance of technical content, discussion and examples. I found the code samples very useful in helping me understand advanced techniques such as basing Forms blocks on stored program units.

1.0 out of 5 stars This one is a bottom-feeder - really awful, March 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle8 Developer's Guide (Paperback)

This book was huge disappointment. Many items in the text are wrong, and Carol McCullough-Dieter obvious has no business writing Oracle books. There are so many wrong items, that it is not worth commenting on them. Avoid this bad apple at all costs.
