Summary: A Good for Introdutry book for beginer. Not expert
Comment: Like title said, the book is for beginner and cover very wide area, It has include everything you need to know such a SGA, redo log, control file. It also cover package, procedure and function, Java and Form 6i. In other word, it cover from DBA to developer and show you the way where you want to move on.
However, each chapter can become a Book itself.
For those people who do not know what oracle is about and what sort of Component is involved as a Oracle DBA or Developer . This is book to go.
For those who are already family and want a detail information on how to Master on a specific tecni such as PL/SQL, DBA. Sorry and this is not the book.
BTW, I think the O'Really PL/SQL is a good book too.

Summary: Good for beginners
Comment: As titled, this book is a BEGINNER's guide. I've been an Oracle DBA for 9 years and am searching for a book to introduce the Oracle database to college students. You are not going to effectively administer Oracle databases by buying this book, however, you are going to be introduced to the concepts and get good introductory examples as well as a guide on where and how to get started.

Summary: Typos and inconsistent
Comment: After only reviewing the book for about 45 minutes, I found some glaring problems.
Over fifty pages to start the book on how to use Google and usenet newsgroups?!? I'm a beginner with Oracle 9i, not with a computer or on the internet. How about save the trees or provide say, ten pages on installation or command line reference (see last point).
On page 11, "The company reaches 4,223 billion in sales" (That's over 4 trillion) Then sales fall to "5,684 million" in the next paragraph. OK.
On Page 63, "NOTE: Even though Oracle runs on a wide assortment of computers, we will concentrate on Sun Solaris..."
Then on to page 287, Oracle Enterprise Manager is breezed over with instructions on how to use it in Win 2K! Most of the screen shots in the book are windows dialogs. Not even a single note on use of the command line tools to start oem!
Skip this one!
