Summary: it is for DBA beginners, not ordinary beginners
Comment: For sure, the book is written by some technical minds, not instructor's. I just wanted to learn how to use Oracle, not how to design or admin Oracle. I believe the title is misleading.

Rating: 5
Summary: Good introduction to Oracle
Comment: I'm into the third chapter and the book is an easy read and explains the topic with good examples. So far I have no bones about the format and I'm not a DBA as of yet so, I can't rip this book apart. What I like about this book are the following: 1.Technical terms/words defined at the start of each chapter 2.Good laymen expamles of subject, terms and functions, 3.Tutorial format, 4.Easy reading.

Summary: Oracle A Beginner's Guide
Comment: This book suffers from a lack of consistant tone and flow. The chapter on PL/SQL is bad. The examples are incomplete and poorly explained. The SQL and DBA chapters are decent. This book doesn't appear to be a labor of love. The updates for Oracle 8 and 8i add a couple of chapters, but the failings of the earlier editions remain.
