Confused ramble though Oracle
The best thing that can be said about this book is it's a confused ramble though Oracle. The book tries to cover Java, PL/SQL and XML, and fails to cover any depth in any of these subjects.

From Stem to Stern
Some other reviewers have stated that this book is uneven in quality. I agree with that assessment but argue that is unavoidable. I cannot think of any one person who possesses the knowledge to write intelligently about all of this material in the depth this book has.

In a few areas it is dated (obviously 9i is out NOW, but wasn't when this book was published), but it is still overall extremely valuable. I have had my copy for about a year now and have read it almost completely once (you can't read a 1200 page tech book cover to cover) and have referred to it in a pinch more times than I can remember.

In short, a must have for any serious Oracle developer.

Good book but not for beginner
Good book, but goes more detail into
tools provided by Oracle. If you will be using
only oracle tools, this is a good book.
