An enjoyable read

I've been programming with Java and Oracle for about 3 years now, and this book shines the light on things like best practices when using Java and Oracle together. This book is a must have if you are using Java and Oracle: kind of like the Thomas Kyte book "Expert-one-on-one" is now.This book teaches you not only how to do things, but _why_ you want to do things a certain way. Because of that, this book is streets ahead of anything else available on Java and Oracle - even the other Oracle Press Java books.This book even teaches you how to use JDeveloper to create Java programs.If you're a newby or an expert, this book will be useful when using Java and Oracle together.

The only book you need on Java and Oracle

I spent quite some time reading through the various books on Java programming and Oracle, and this book really stood out as being the best. It covers everything you need: SQL, PL/SQL, Java, JDBC, and J2EE components (EJB, servlets, and JSP). It even covers how to use JDeveloper. I highly recommend this book.

Great book

I highly recommend this book. Our company has been developing Java applications with the Oracle database for several years now, and our whole team are now using this book to improve our apps. The chapter on performance tuning alone is worth the price of this book.

Immediately useful

I've been programming Java applications that access Oracle databases for over a year now, and I found this book very useful. I liked the fact that it is useful to both beginners and advanced users like me. I especially liked the section on EJBs.

Hands down the best book on JDBC

I have other books on JDBC, but this book is by far the best. It not only covers standard JDBC, but it also covers all the Oracle extensions to JDBC. I really liked the coverage of Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages and servlets also included.
