4.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional but a little outdated..., January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sql Guide to Oracle (Paperback)

The book contains many examples, more then other SQL books that I have read. The book covers a lot of nested queries, sub-quries and co-related queries using EXISTS, ALL operators. It is a little out-dated but still serve my purpose which is to become proficient in SQL. I would buy a second edition if one exists for Oracle 7 or 8.

This review is from: The Sql Guide to Oracle (Paperback)

I have found this book the only useful book on using SQLPlus. In fact, it was the ONLY book on SQLPlus that I have found anywhere. It has exactly what I need. However, the book only covers Oracle 6.x, which is a bit outdated. Are there any plans for new editions of the title?

5.0 out of 5 stars Strength of book is the many examples, January 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sql Guide to Oracle (Paperback)

This book has proven to be extremely useful for learning as well as reference. The focus is on SQL, rather than Oracle. It is logically organized, clearly written and full of examples. The index could be more complete, but the overall layout of the book still makes it very easy to use.
