Customer Reviews

The one I use most

I have both of the 10g new features book, and this one has more details that I needed when I moved my 9i database to 10g. The other book is OK, but this one has more inteligence in choosing which features to feature. The organisation is also good.

best of breed

I have the Freeman 10g new features book, but I found this one to be a much better value because it has more detailed information about the 10g new features. I was also happy that the book shows working examples and it contains a full wealth of "how to" use the new features and not just a rehash of the 10g documents.

Great for what I wanted - the New Features!

When the New Features books come out with each version of Oracle, I look forward to grabbing the best one and sitting down and reading it. This book has everything that I wanted, the New Features explained thoroughly and examples that help me understand any new concepts. Yes, this book seems like it does rehash the Oracle documentation to, but what book can not somewhat? The good thing is this book goes beyond the Oracle documentation giving you much more. I highly recommended this book for all DBA's who want to keep up on the latest and greatest coming out of Redwood Shores, CA.

Useful and Time Saving

This book will pay for itself, I'm glad I have it. It is excellent for getting a jump start on 10g. Cuts right to the chase. Having read some of the other reviews I think some have an axe to grind and I would not pay much attention to them.

Very Nice Coverage

I am in the 10g beta program and I was happy to see that the authors kept their focus on only the 10g features that are important.Many other new feature book want to cover all new features even if they are not important.Mike Ault has done an excellent job with this book and all of the 10g features are explained in the context of how they will help improve database functions.
