A very good book for obtaining a general understanding of Oracle and all of its complexities. It is a "quick" read with concise definitions covering a variety of topics. Furthermore, the authors are very disciplined about not going off on tangents and bluntly (rightly so) tell you to go look somewhere else for further information.


I especially appreciated all the information on 9i. While I still do most of my work on 8i, the introduction to 9i will eventually help me when I begin doing work on that platform.


Overall, a good, supplemental quick reference to my other voluminous Oracle books that stay on my bookshelf because they are too big to tote around.
