Summary: Solid beginner's book
Comment: This book is a great place for inexperienced Oracle developers to begin learning about the new 10g architecture. Designed as a crash-course in everything one would need to know to effectively maintain and develop for an Oracle database, this book does a good job to quickly get the reader in control of this potentially complex data system.
After a brief introduction to Oracle data types and the basic environment (like tables, views, and indexes), the authors present a fairly detailed section on writing data queries. While much in this section can be applied to some of the more recent versions of Oracle, it is targeted to the 10g platform. The reader interested in this section will also likely want to read Chapter 6, which focuses on writing PL/SQL.
For the aspiring database administrator, there are some very good sections on what an Oracle DBA should do. While simply reading these sections won't make you a DBA, they contain a lot of good information including discussions on networking issues and disaster recovery.
The rest of the book contains a lot of information on Oracle features, which can be used by both database developers and DBAs. Examples include Oracle's use of XML and Java, as well as database maintenance issues for supporting large datasets.
This is a great beginner's book to Oracle 10g, as it includes just enough information to be useful, but not so much that it becomes overwhelming. This is definitely a good book to pick up if you are new to Oracle or the 10g platform.

Summary: Wonderful Introductory Book for Oracle Concepts and 10G
Comment: This book is a great place to start learning basic Oracle concepts as well as those new to 10G. It starts off at the appropriate Beginning Level and then builds on the concepts you learn in the beginning of the book to take you to the next level. I think it appropriate material for the Oracle beginner. I especially like the Q&A sections (Progress Checks) as it allows me to verify that I understood what the authors were telling me as I went along in the book. Also of major value are the numerous examples given. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about Oracle and 10G. I also think it could be viewed as a nice refresher course. My kudos to the authors for being able to pass on this amount of information in such a way that even a beginner can understand and follow.
