Format:Paperback
This book is a fantastic book for XSQL. It covers everything from installing XSQL, creating XSQL pages, style sheets using XSLT and XPath and even teaches you SQL and PL/ SQL functions and how to add, modify and delete data from a database.
The one thing that is a real let down in this book is the number of mistakes is unbelievable....I don't think this book was ever proof-read. I know XSQL and XML quite well but thought I'd dive into a bit deeper by reading this book but page after page there are mistakes which will confuse complete beginners - either where the example code has just been copied and pasted from a previous example and then they forgot to update the new example or the author hasn't tried out the code and just simply entered it because some examples simply would not work if they were tested.
It is a great book but watch out for the mistakes - it's probably best to read w3schools website first.

Excellent Work
22 Jan 2003
Format:Paperback
The author has done a excellent job. It describes about the important pieces in a dedicated chapter - XSQL architecture. After that he delves into SQL, PLSQL, XSQL , XSLT. The best part is chapter 14 on Building XSQL web applications. This explains how all the above pieces are put into a working model. The material is written keeping oracle 9i in mind. As a whole, I felt very comfortable reading the whole book.
Especially for database developers who come from sql, plsql background and are trying to get into web development world ( without the hassle of learning Java Servlets, Jsp etc ... ), I would definitely recommend it.
A great reference

There are few books out that deal with Oracle Text and XSQL. Applying the methodologies, practices, etc. I found no need to search for another reference.
A wealth of details!
