Summary: It'd be okay for 8i...
Review: I get the impression this ought to be ok/good for 8i - only. If one is new to Oracle overall, & is installing 9i instead, ignore this one.. ;/

Summary: Many problems with this book.
Review: I have been working with this book for over a month and have not been able to get beyond Ch.2 because the instructions in the book simply do not work. ORA-ERROR!!! This book needs to be tried and tested by random students across the country before releasing to the general public. There is no-one responding to the "Bulletin Board" questions the student's pose and no interaction with the professors or any instructors. Why do they call this book "Interactive?" It is time consuming and highly frustrating. Find another do it yourself book or CTB... I hope the author's really improve on the 2nd edition, with better web support!

Summary: This is a good book for hands-one experience!
Review: I think this is a good book for all of you to have a hands-on experience in oracle database. If you understand some concepts of oracle database, you will find it useful.
Everyone doesn't use unix at home, but it provides how to use unix and windows NT in oracle database.
I am expecting the author can rewrite the book and add the contents of oracle 9i to this book. It will be more helpful.

Summary: Great for Students new to Oracle
Review: Not every book is meant for every reader. Many books about Oracle focus on teaching working professionals who use Oracle what they need to know. These readers then use the books later as reference material. If that is your goal in buying this book, look elsewhere.If, however, you are a student learning about Oracle for the first time, this book is GREAT because it doesn't assume anything about your knowledge. It is used at Columbia University for teaching Oracle and is well-designed as a manual for classroom Oracle instruction.

Summary: Bad Web Access (Don't buy this book)
Review: This book is good for beginners with all the information from the publisher web site (www.....com). The down side for this book is, there is not cd-rom & all the script & examples in the book needed to download from the (www.....com). The web services provide by the phptr is really bad. I have been unable to access the web for more than few days(Until Now!!). I advice to all the oracle beginner look for other¡¦s book. Cause without the access to the web site (www.....com) a lot of examples can¡¦t work. Don¡¦t¡¦ waste ur money & time for something can¡¦t work 100% for U. (not even 80% - This include almost all the interactive series from phptr)

Summary: ORACLE INTERACTIVE WORKBOOK
Review: This book is good for beginnners who want to understand Database administration. Though it is claimed that no prior knowledge is necessary ,I feel one should be familiar with RDBMS terminilogies.

Summary: Worst Tech Book I have ever bought
Review: This books is the worst POS I have ever had the misfortune to buy. The instructions are vague and error-ridden. Excessive details is given to completely trivial items that any OS savvy user would already know. Stay away from this bo

Summary: Very frustrating - vague do not buy this book
Review: Very vague, instructions not clear on the fundamentals. I'm a student trying to read through this book and am stuck on Chapter 2. On page 42, when it teaches you to run the script, it just says "now run the script". Very poorly written - do not buy.
