Saw this in the bookstore and thought it would be neat to have at hand when coding - just to clear up syntax etc. when you don't want to link through the online docs.


However, although what's in this book is nice, there is a HUGE flaw - there is no INDEX !! No big deal for a 100 page book you may think, but if you're looking for a specific reserved word it's a real pain - means it's often easier to go back to online Oracle documentation.


This bugs me so much that I've hardly used the book. At $7.95 it was hardly a big write off, but just disappointing as it seemed a nice concept.
