Amazon.com Review
In a hurry to learn Oracle8 database technology? Richard Fieldhouse's Personal Oracle8 Explorer, a guide to the personal edition of Oracle8, is a great place to start. Learn the basics of PL/SQL, the SQL*Plus utility for creating and managing databases, as well as how it fits into the entire Oracle8 product line. This hands-on guide gets you up and running quickly but doesn't skimp on the details of Oracle8's powers. It's ideally suited to the intermediate database programmer or administrator who needs to get acquainted with Oracle8's features fast. --Richard Dragan

5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect,
By Ned R. (St. Cloud, MN USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Personal Oracle8 Explorer (Paperback)
Very well written book. Though you have to have some beginning-level knowledge of Personal Oracle8 before you pick up this book. Some chapters are summarized because of the advanced nature of topic. However, they would make more sense if they might have been summarized more in general term, e.g., NCA chapter. In summary, this is an excellent source to learn Personal Oracle8 and then move to Enterprise Oracle.

Description of the contents of the CD are untruthful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Personal Oracle8 Explorer (Paperback)
I'm having all kinds of difficulty installing "Personal Oracle8" (one of your books). The instructions in the book for doing the install say simply to insert the CD and a menu will pop up leading me through the installation process. That is not what happens at all. In fact the chapter on installation is completly different from what I'm experiencing. On the cover of the CD itself, it says to execute the "Install.exe", which I did. I did get a bunch of things installed on the computer, but none are useful at the moment. I don't have a windows group for Personal Oracle8. I do have something like 15 different setup*.exe files located in different folders. Am I supposed to run each one individually? I tried running the setup.exe that is located in the ...\SQLStation\Station folder but it asks for The License Agreement for SQL-Station First Edition (found on the SoftWare License Agreement included with the distribution media). I have no idea where to find this. Why isn't the installation process running the way that the book describes. Please advise me on what I'm doing wrong. I doesn't seem like the Personal Oracle8 software that comes with the book matches the book. Thanks. Graham graham.o'connor@pwgsc.gc.ca

1.0 out of 5 stars
poorly written, misled reader.,
By lee rodgers (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Personal Oracle8 Explorer (Paperback)
this book is poorly written. for example:1. in ch. 1, the author talks about start database without mention what database you are actually starting or what 'start database' means. 2. in ch.2, you suppose to create a new database, but all you see from the author is how to create a project under personal oracle 8 what is the difference between a database and project! nothing is said. 3.what is that local database? the author's writting is so confusing. 4. the author misled the reader to think the cd accompany the book has peronal oracle on it. IT DOES NOT! the cd of the book only contains junks! this list can go on and on and on! don't waste your money!
