Summary: Highly recommend!
Comment: This particular book should be read by all Oracle programmers dealing with SQL, experienced and novice alike. Here are the reasons why:
(1) New features -
Programming languages used with Oracle (SQL, procedural languages like PL/SQL & Java, and even the Oracle database for that matter) are increasingly overlapping into each other's domain and functionality. Java can be used to perform the role of PL/SQL; PL/SQL & the Oracle database can now deal with objects; SQL can now make procedural programming unnecessary in some instances. Especially for Oracle 8i and above, it is imperative for an Oracle programmer to learn about the new features of SQL, and understand when it makes more sense to use SQL instead of other languages mentioned above. This book is excellent in explaining new features.
(2) Clarity of writing - Writing style is lucid, and easy to read and follow. Complex topics are explained quite intuitively. One line seems to clarify what others might take a few paragraphs to explain. Examples are simple enough, but yet relevant enough, to convey the main point across. Too many books submerge the main point in examples that are unnecessarily complex.
This book doesn't explain tuning of Oracle SQL statements in exhaustive detail (though it touches on tuning issues throughout).
Rating: 5
Summary: The title should be changed to "Advanced Oracle SQL"
Comment: I like this book. It covers some advanced topics of Oracle SQL with some good examples. It doesn't cover everything of SQL statements and grammer, but it does teach you some techniques of writing good queries. It's hard to find similar book on the market.
Rating: 4
Summary: Average reading
Comment: It's a good book but it misses a beat here and there on the more difficult topics. It is worth a try, as all the Oracle books are silly.
