I was reading this book to get familiar with some of DBA work in Oracle and found that it had lots of errors and typos in the areas that I know as well as obvious mistakes in examples. If I see that it's wrong about things I know - how can I trust it about the things I don't know? Read with caution, don't be surprized when examples don't work.

Buy this book if you are totally new to Oracle and would like to get introduced to all that is out there. It is not too focused and I realized that I wanted more very soon and am already looking for the next level. It's useful but not enough.

* It introduces a variety of topics ( General concept, Architecture, SQL*plus, Forms, Reports, Loader, DBA stuff, tuning and so on... so it is priced well for all that information that is offered. However if your need is more focused then do not buy this book.

* Has got a gentle pace and lots of reminders, tips and guidelines to help you let the facts sink in.

* Some analogies used by the authors to emphasize system concepts were very distracting.

* One initial chapter dealt a lot with "how to install the software", which is hardly what I was looking for.

As someone starting from ground zero, I found this book easy to read and understand. My one reservation is that the authors sometimes used terms and code examples which had not been previously defined or explained. A more complete explanation of code examples would have been very helpful in some places. However, the book is still very much worth reading.
