5.0 out of 5 stars Can't believe Learn Oracle was so easy...., February 6, 2007

By	Bernardino Lopez "Dino Lopez" (Albertville, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you try to Learn Oracle, this is the way to go. the book introduce you to basic Relational Database concepts also provide you with the Application Express Web Development.

Learn and start with Oracle is a snap with the Book, the samples work great and the Book can be bought for your OS [ Linux or Windows ].

For a while I feel intimidated for so many books on Oracle this surely is the book that will make you start working and administering your first Oracle Database. Medium and Expert users can use it as Freebie and Development Tool.
