Customer Reviews & Comments
I was on my way to write more or less a negative review of this book, however I changed my mind and now I really think that this book is a ood* reference after all. Why? First title on Oracle 10g new features that I read was Robert Freeman's book. With modest 200+ pages it's an excellent introductory kind of text and nothing more, it's far from being considered as a reference (or complete) guide to 10g new features. On the other hand Mr. Ault, Liu and Tumma's book has from the very beginning the ambition to be a true REFERENCE, as complete as possible (they even write some short introduction about new bioinformatics features included in 10g!!). It is amazing how many information they managed to compile and present in detail, especially considering the timing - short beta cycle of 10g and obvious "gold rush" of the publisher (shame on you ;-). Sometimes their explanations are a little beat too verbose and tedious (repetitive) for my taste - sort the writing style that we're familiar in Oracle manuals. The worst thing about this book is the lack of proper technical editing. At first, I was convinced that this book was not edited at all, or that authors reviewed each other's chapters. Then I noticed Mike's comment in which he mentioned that someone from Oracle reviewed the book. Ahh...that explains everything, they barely cope with their own official manuals and now they're helping others ;->. How bad is it? Not as bad to bash it altogether....anyway, I saved some funny comments for the end of my review, they're made by the "editor" of the book (I guess?) and were left unchanged, ended in the final print...page 445: "Not sure what you mean by example....Could you give a complete example here?" or on page 447: "Give a working example - LEVEL clause is missing and you should add parenthesis".
