Customer Reviews

Excellent handbook

I used Sunderraman's 8i book during my undergrad for a database systems course. He describes exactly what is needed to interact with Oracle. I would recommend this item for anyone in a hurry to write code to interact with oracle databases.

Best Oracle programming book out there

Why? That is because it helped me practise in real world orcale programming. I understand 95% percent of what the author is talking about. The book is easy to understand. Like one of the reviewers said, every page of this book counts. This is a book you can read from cover to cover. I disagree with the reviewer who said JDBC should be left out.I think the author just wanted to show how to connect java with orcale. JDBC is a huge area. How can it be covered in such a tiny book? It is just like the author leads you to the right path of oracle with java. And then users can get deep into JDBC with oracle using some other books. How could the author leave JDBC out of this book since JDBC is a very easy way to get connected with Oracle. And also java is a very hot language and getting stronger and stronger as time goes on. I'D GIVE IT SIX STARS IF I COULD.

Great book for programming

I have not seen any other book, which has so many sample databases to work with. The author gives many examples to help understand the concepts of SQL.Truly, a great book for programming and many tips for writing queries and JDBC concepts explained very well.Great coverage of PL/SQL.I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn oracle programming.

The best book for Oracle Programming

I have read many Oracle Programming books. This one is certainly the best for beginners. It's concise, practical, well written, no-frills. It is very different from other books that are full of junks. The author made every page count (I fully agree with one of the reviewers).One suggestion to the author: please write more books on Oracle.

A great and precise book

This is one of the shortest and perhaps the best book on Oracle programming. In just 250 pages, the author covers every major aspect of Oracle programming techniques. Do yourself a favor and get this valuable book.
