5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, Extremely Helpful, A Must Have!, March 25, 1998

By A Customer

This is an excellent resouce, a book that finally offers the specific information you need to bone up on Oracle. With numerous, well-explained examples, this book is an invaluable resource. While most computer books offer only vague generalities, and an annoying lack of real help on specific questions, this book gets right to the heart of the matter. This book is like a breath of fresh air in a market overcrowded with second-rate books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical view of Oracle8, March 10, 1998

By A Customer

The Oracle8 How-To is a book which succinctly details the elements of Oracle pragramming. Not since J. B. Guthries' Oracle6.0-- The Next Step has programming in this langauge been justly treated. The authors have given excellent examples that cover everything from command-line macros to programming for networked environments. Also, an overview of the new features of Oracle8 will assist even the most jaded programmer. Never have I enjoyed reading a guide to programming as much. I think it is easy to see the influence of the fresh ideas of the new authors.
