3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but not for beginners., March 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle9i XML Handbook (Paperback)

I bought this book in order to learn XML and how Oracle implemented it. This book assumes you know XML and Java very well, and glosses over many details. There is no reference for the myriad functions used in the examples so you really have to look elsewhere, like Metalink. I still don't know what book covers the details left out of this one! I will buy it when I find it.

I must own 8 or 10 Oracle Press books . . .
