What Others Say
Great book on SQL and PL/SQL
I'm an experienced Oracle developer and I use Oracle Database 11g SQL (Osborne Oracle Press Series) all the time. I have several books on SQL, and Oracle Database 11g SQL (Osborne Oracle Press Series) is by far the best. It has good examples. I highly recommend it.
More myths
Top of page 119 - the tip about not using count(*) because it is slower than using count(something else)
You have proof of this? Where, what, when, and you, of course, have set Tom Kyte straight on this matter?
Poor adaption for the Kindle
I purchased Oracle Database 11g SQL (Osborne Oracle Press Series) for my Kindle and it is a well written, informative text on the Oracle database. The problem is that virtually all the tables and figures are completely unreadable on the Kindle. Either the people responsible for converting this eBook never looked at the result on the Kindle or, worse, they did and released it anyway. This will be my last eBook purchase from this publisher.
