5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for me, November 6, 2004
As someone who has written some .NET applications using MS Access and SQL Server I found the material to be appropriate and helpful as I am new to Oracle. Some things that I found especially helpful were:

- discussing the difference between an Oracle database and an instance

- what the various parameter files such as the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files are for and how to configure them

- the examples of how to use bind variables, pl/sql, and the advanced connections chapter

I do agree with the first reviewer that this book does somewhat sew together material from other sources (which I actually found helpful not a negative), but I disagree that the examples were not helpful or extensive enough - there were appropriate examples for each topic so far as I could tell.

All and all I would say this is a worthwhile book if you are new to Oracle and need to figure out how to get started developing applications for Oracle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but still basic, December 31, 2004
From the title you would expect this to drill into some deep Oracle technical issues. It doesn't do that. It's a fairly screenshot intensive walkthrough of basic Oracle use in .NET. It starts with connectivity, information retrieval and manipulation. Then exception handling, stored procedures and large object operations. There is some coverage of performance issues.

There is a lot of good content here. It's well written and organized. The screenshots aren't overwhelming and the sample code is good. A good book on Oracle use in .NET, even if it is a little mis-titled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confirmed my real-world experience, February 8, 2005
I put a system into production last fall with .NET and Oracle. Wish I had this book nine months ago! Mark has good advice for someone new to Oracle, but familiar with .NET. I've gone back and tweaked the system based on Mark's recommendations. I'm happy.
