Guide Review - Expert Oracle

This is truly one of the few outstanding Oracle books on the market today. If you're a serious Oracle developer, you probably already have your hands on a copy. One definite word of warning -- if you're new to the world of databases or Oracle, don't make this your first book. You'll need to pick up a good introductory text and become familiar with the basics first. Once you've done that, Tom Kyte will guide you to master Oracle's intricate details in this book.
