Book Description
An enormous system comprising myriad technologies, options, and releases, Oracle's complexities have spawned numerous areas of specialization. For each area of specialization there are equally specialized how-to books and manuals. O'Reilly's Oracle Essentials claims a unique place among these books. Rather than focusing on one area, the book explains the foundational concepts of the Oracle technology and the core technical and business aspects of using it. The new edition of this classic book, Oracle Essentials, 3rd Edition: Oracle Database 10g, distills a vast amount of knowledge into an easy-to-read volume covering every aspect of the Oracle database. Readers of all levels will learn about Oracle's features and technologies, including the product line, architecture, data structures, networking, concurrency, tuning, and much more.

FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
These two guides distill the essential features of the newest version of the complex and weighty Oracle database. For absolute beginners, Beginner's Guide aims in straightforward language to reduce the intimidation factor by covering basic concepts, from architecture to using XML with Oracle databases. Step-by-step projects, chapter mastery checks, and test-yourself progress checks aid in self-study; "Ask the Expert" sidebars and notes add extra information without interrupting the flow. Highly recommended for public libraries. Essentials serves more as a basic reference for existing Oracle users, with chapters organized largely into lengthy definitions and explanations of features. It will also be of use to ambitious beginners and will particularly help upgraders. The authors highlight 10g features that differ from those in the older 8i and 9i versions, while tips, tables, and notes throughout add useful information. An appendix includes a chapter-by-chapter summary of new 10g features, and the title ends with a nice overview of grid computing (the "g" in 10g). For medium and larger libraries.
