This is an excellent introduction to the complex world of the Oracle 11G database. It covers all the important aspects of database installation, setup, programming, maintenance, backup and support.There is enough information in each subject area to get the reader started and interested in finding out more. It would even be a useful 11g quick reference for experienced DBAs. Highly recommended.

The mere mention of "Oracle Database" can strike fear and intimidation in many an aspiring IT career climber. Have no fear. This books lays it out step by step in a clear fashion. For those concerned about licensing issues, since Oracle XE and Oracle Developer are free, you can use them to learn, build a working project, or both. The book gives a rundown of other Oracle versions and their licenses as well, explaining the cost, terms, and limitations.I have a background in mysql and MS SQL, so I'm no beginner, but I do like books that lay down the basics. When using a new technology, there may be features or ways of doing things that are a bit different. Reading from a basic level gives me a good foundation and fills in any gaps I may have. It leaves me well-prepared for tackling the more advanced topics.Pros:This book includes installation instructions for Oracle and the Oracle IDE, as well as step-by-step queries that you can practice that will introduce you to the syntax, features, and functions of Oracle.Cons:There are some things that I would do different. While there are instructions for Linux, there is no mention that the RPM files need to be converted for Debian-based distros such as Ubuntu. I had to Google the instructions. Ubuntu is one of the most popular distros, so I feel that the instructions should be there. There's quite a few steps involved in regards to various hardware settings. The book addresses some, but not all. I actually had to create a new swap partition and delete the old one because the one my Oracle VBOX built during the Ubuntu installation was under 2 gigabytes. I also had to figure out how to install JDK, and make a decision on whether to use Oracle's or opensdk. I feel these instructions should be included. To me, buying a technical book is about being hand-walked step by step without having to jump around from blog to blog for snippets of instructions. If I'm having to do this anyway, what's the point of buying the book?So after jumping from site to site, I'm back to the book, and go to where I feel I need to be... which is after IDE installation. But now I'm being asked to run queries on an HR database, except where's the HR database? Do I need to make one up? The thought crossed my mind... but it sounded like I had to bake a cake before learning how to make it. I downloaded the code samples from the publisher, but no database there. Turns out the instructions for adding Oracle's version of "Northwind", HR, a sample database that comes with Oracle, was a bit before the IDE installation. I feel this should go immediately before the SQL query chapter after the IDE installation, and if not, at least make a reference to it for those that had to step away from the book for the installation portion or waited to install the IDE before trying out queries.The third thing I would do differently is to create a chart for each screenshot that breaks down each line in the statement in summary. This is something that "MySQL Stored Procedure Programming" did which I found very practical and useful.Conclusion:Overall, I think this is a great book to get you started on Oracle. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm looking forward to the chapter on Oracle APEX. I feel confident that I'll be able to tackle more challenging material comfortably after completing this book.
