Good Book
If you want to learn about using Oracle's XML packages and functions, this is a good book. It fills in for the lack of Oracle documentation.

THE book for Oracle and XML
This book with real working code samples saved the day for me when building an XML Loader. One drawback: It doesn't explain XSL real well which is crucial for transforming your XML document into the canonical format so I really give it 4.5 stars.

Good reference for old versions of Oracle
This book was written in 2000, prior to 9i, which has added a lot of functinality. If you already know XML well and need to augment the rather pathetic Oracle Press books and Oracle On-Line documention, then this is the best book I have read. Many of the examples used in the book do not reflect the real-world examples I have had to deal with, so keep an open mind.

Many XML details are assumed by the author or are skipped-over entirely, so if you do not know XML, pick-up an XML book at the same time.

The book is dominated by Java; relatively little PL/Sql coverage.
