Product Description

Written by experienced Oracle insiders, this essential guide distills a vast amount of information into an easy-to-read volume that covers every aspect of the Oracle database. Readers of all technical levels will learn about Oracle's features and technologies, including the product line, architecture, data structures, networking, concurrency, tuning and much more. Augmented with illustrations and helpful hints, the fourth edition of "Oracle Essentials" offers a valuable one-stop overview of Oracle Database 11g, Oracle's newest database release. Recent releases such as Oracle 10g and 9i are also covered. More comprehensible than huge complete references, and more detailed than most primers, this book gives current Oracle users the conceptual background they need to understand how the Oracle database truly works. For those new to Oracle, this all-in-one guide provides an essential introduction that will get them up to speed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excelent introduction, 13 Mar 2008

By	Mario Silva (Tomar, Portugal) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I started reading this book with certain expectations. I work daily with Oracle so I always felt the need to know more about certain aspects of the database itself and the way things work in the background. This book started a bit disappointing, because the initial chapters seem like a shopping list of features, stating thoroughly all the features that are available with this version of Oracle (that's the reason of only four stars).

However, past that initial and overly long listing, the book becomes very interesting and, more importantly, goes directly to the point. I can't say that I knew much Oracle to start with, so this book helped me in two ways: by explaining the basics of this DBMS and going to the trouble of even to remind me of some basic database concepts. The chapters become more and more complete, as you read, making the reader see Oracle more like an application suite than a dedicated DBMS.

I strongly recommend this book to all those starting to use Oracle, as an excellent introduction to the more simple and complex aspects of this application.

3.0 out of 5 stars oracle primer, 10 Feb 2009

By	G. Watson "George 83" (Ipswich) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 10g (Paperback)

Usefull as an intro. Would be better if they concentrated on one release and stuck to the basics rather than covering all the functionality in Oracle. Too much ground is covered in too little detail.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing
This book can probably justify its cost by removing the 10g bit from its title.
There is very little information about 10g [except Appendix A, which is simply defn of terms]... Read more
