Reviews From AMAZON.COM

You will be sorry if you buy this book

I completely agree with the reader from NJ. I can't imagine it took 10 or was that 20 Oracle experts to come up with this garbage.

Don't confuse this with another book with a similar name, "Oracle Unleashed" (Note: the word server doesn't appearin the title), that book is a lot better than this one.

A lot of information about nothing

Imagine writing all the possible Oracle topics you could write about, throwing them into a hat, then reaching in and grabbing a random handful. Then very briefly touch upon the topics you chose, occasionally going into just enough detail to pique your interest, but not enough to provide you with any useful information. It amazes me that a book of over 800 pages can say so little. I'd love to know who this book was targeted at. If you just want an overview of Oracle, there are much better (and shorter) books out there. If you want any detail, you won't find it here.
