Summary: Go Buy This Book!
Review: Don't pass up a chance to find out what you need to know about Oracle in a hurry. This book focuses on NT as specified in the introduction - UNIX gets the minimal treatment it deserves. The authors worked with the Beta release so there are some deviations from the Oracle8 production version but they obviously wanted to get this information to users in a hurry. I found tons of worthwhile tips that are missing from the online docs.

Summary: Very Useful for beginners
Review: I found this book extremely useful . I am still a beginner in Oracle and PL/SQL and I have found this book of great help in cases where your boss tells you : I want so and so for tomorrow morning and you don't have a clue of how to do it and you can't swallow an entire Oracle encyclopedia in one day (or night) . You 'll find the answer in the book quickly and easily . For example I was asked to make benchmark tests to compare the speed of SQL Plus and other oracle native tools with ODBC based tools when retrieving data and I didn't know how to measure the elapsed execution time using PL/SQL. Well , I just had to look at the index and see time-related entries , and look at the corresponding pages and I saw how to do it . However ,I can't really judge whether this book will be useful to experienced oracle programmers or not because I am still a beginner .
