Very disappointing 6 April 2012
Format:Paperback
I wanted to bring up to date my skill on Oracle, and since some time passed since my last hands on experience, I decided to buy a beginner's guide.
I'm sure that people who wrote this book are really experts on Oracle, but not in writing books.
This one has no structure at all.
Very often, when a new subject is started, there is only a brief introduction, deferring to a more deep explanation in further sections. Jumping to those sections I often didn't find the information I was expecting, feeling very frustrated.
Very surprised it's from Oracle Press.
I was definitely expecting a better quality.

Very poorly structured and written. Regularly uses concepts and abbreviations that are not defined. Needs a lot more work to make this a useful beginners guide.

Poor Quality -Very patronizing and worthless. 18 Aug 2009
By Critical Eye - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is one of the worst books I have read on databases. The quality of this book is worst than a term report from a Junior in college. It has fill-in the blanks at the end of each chapter; Seriously what were they thinking?

Midway in the book page 208 of 410 pages total the author talks about
"LEARN What a DBA does" and marks that as a critical skill, in the same section the author encourages readers to take Oracle Certification. Buy this book if you are Freshmen or grade school student trying to use Oracle, better google and find some decent getting started guides. It is full of fluff.

Not worth the paper it's written on.

-Very disappointed.

Extremely superficial, waste of time and paper 16 Feb 2011
By Riccardo Audano - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Some people really do not understand the difference between an introductory text aimed at beginners and a superficial, worthless and cheap pseudo-introduction. The author, editors and whoever else worked on this book are clearly members of this category. This text is extremely thin and nonetheless padded with lots of useless chatter and "fluff". When it treats a serious subject it does so in a completely superficial and cursory manner. The "practice session" are actually just a numb & dumb enumeration of steps to take with no explanation or discussion whatsoever. The result is a total waste of time for the beginner who's left to wonder if he didn't get anything from this book because of his lack of skills or inclinations..until he's given the chance to meet a decent book or a decent instructor. Writing an introductory text is actually a harder and more "important" task than writing for advanced readers.. first because it's always the foundation of a building that always matter most, and second because it's often on of the tools which an aspiring practitioner in the field uses to find out whether he 's got any true talent and interest for that field.
It's a shame for a well respected company like McGraw-Hill Osborne to publish rubbish like this.

Beginner's guide to 11g 6 April 2009
By JaeSmith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book was comprehensive enough for a junior dba and skilled enough for a 15 yr veteran. The incorporation of the 11g concepts and OEM was a welcome addition. The pace was good for the expected audience and the book captured the fundamentals of a dba and some concepts of 11g. I found the Mastery Checks at the end of the chapters were challenging enough. The PL/SQL will help me get feedback to development on better ways to write loops, which we all know can be done better. A topic on statistics would enhance the overall skill set for this book. Overall the book was and will be helpful going forward.
