Expert Oracle Database Architecture: 9i and 10g Programming Techniques and Solutions by Thomas Kyte Highly recommended! | This books offers a quick, well supported by examples, review of many of the most important Oracle features covered in the Oracle Concepts and DBA Administrations manuals. The emphasis is on how to use the features effectively to solve problems in a scalable manner based on how the underlying Oracle technology works... |

Oracle PL/SQL Programming, 4th Edition by Steven Feuerstein, Bill Pribyl | excellent resource for programmers using this language. Highly recommended which is why I purchased it. |
|
Cost-Based Oracle Fundamentals by Jonathan Lewis Highly recommended! | This book gets a prized spot on my technical shelf. It is a challenging read, and has taken the most time of any book I have to get through, but it is quite good. The optimizer is such a core part of what makes Oracle worth the investment, that any DBA who does not understand it is doing a disservice to the company ...
Lewis' use of proof through example is second to none, and leaves me feeling confident about the knowledge I've gained. His insights are not only theoretical, but quite applicable. I learned much about manipulating and using the DBMS_STATS package, about data model design and why data knowledge is so critical to the DBA. My nervousness about hints and about upgrades was reinforced with concrete examples that have improved my test plans, upgrade methodologies and overall made me a more competent DBA. I've directly used this knowledge to support my clients in better ways than I would have before it, and that is well worth the price of admission and the time to get through such an in-depth work. Thanks Jonathan! |

Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms & PL/SQL Developers: A Guide to Web Development with Oracle ADF (Osborne Oracle Press) by Peter Koletzke, Duncan Mills Highly recommended! | As the authors note, this is written for people who know PL/SQL inside and out but don't have a clue about java and JDeveloper - my exact position. The first read through gave me a clearer picture, and the subsequent reads are finally lifting the fog. |
|
Oracle Application Server 10g Administration Handbook (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) by John Garmany, Donald K. Burleson Highly recommended! | I used this book to deploy Oracle Application Server 10g infrastructure on Linux and UNIX. I felt that it was a good book and overall I have little ill to say about it. The examples are well written and do a good job of reinforcing what you read in the handbook. You read a little then do an example, then read some more... |
|
Oracle JDeveloper 10g Handbook by Avrom Roy-Faderman, Peter Koletzke, Paul Dorsey Highly recommended! | This latest edition for Oracle10g JDeveloper builds on the success of the previous 9i version. As with the previous version, each chapter is well organized with thorough and accurate examples. Well thought-out attention has been given to explaining Oracle's Application Development Framework (ADF). The authors also go ...
In short, this book as been well received by myself and colleagues I work with and would highly recommend it to anyone getting started in developing Oracle based applications with JDeveloper. I have found no better resource and tutorial for understanding ADF.

Oracle Application Server 10g Web Development (Oracle Press) by Chris Ostrowski, Bradley D. Brown Highly recommended! | I used this book to deploy Oracle 10g Applications through Oracle Developer Suite 10g and JDeveloper 10g. I felt that it was a good book and overall I have little ill to say about it. The examples are well written and do a good job of reinforcing what you read in the chapter. You read a little then do an example, then ... |

Expert Oracle Database 10g Administration (Expert's Voice) by Sam R. Alapati Highly recommended! | This is short and sweet. Of all the Oracle books I have read, this is among the best if not the best. I'm not affiliated with the author, reviewer, or publisher so I get nothing for saying it.
If you're a brand new DBA this isn't for you. If you've read and understand the majority of the Oracle concepts, admin, backup/recovery, and performance guides, then this book helps put the technical theory into practice. |
|
Oracle Applications DBA Field Guide by Elke Phelps, Paul Jackson | I am just getting into Oracle Applications. Traditionally, I always read the Oracle Documentation . . . (RTFM). I bought this book for the purpose of getting a high level view before getting into the Oracle Docs. This book is well laid and reads very easily. The author also points to various Metalink articles which is ... |

Oracle Insights: Tales of the Oak Table by Dave Ensor, Tim Gorman, Kyle Hailey Highly recommended! | As an Oracle and SQL Server DBA for the last seven years I found this book an excellent and very refreshing change from technical manuals and books on Oracle database design and administration. The first few chapters are priceless from Oracle history to the useful read on Oracle tuning using Wait events. I really ... |
|
Mastering Oracle PL/SQL: Practical Solutions by Connor McDonald, Chaim Katz, Christopher Beck Highly recommended! | The book is good but many solutions are not tested fully so its not that they can be cut and pasted directly out of the book. you may have to troubleshoot many of them. Otherwise a real good book. |

Sun Certified Web Component Developer Study Guide (Exam 310-081) (Oracle Press) by David Bridgewater | After I finished the first chapter self-test, and saw that there were two obvious errors in the answer key (questions 7 and 19), I considered buying another book. I searched for an errata listing for the book online, with no success. I emailed the author and techical editor. To his credit, David Bridgewater replied ...
The technical editor did not reply to my email. This comes as no surprise; perhaps she is embarrased at the poor job she did editing this book. She obviously did not give thorough consideration to the self-tests. I decided that I did not want to spend the time or money to get a different exam guide, and that 99% of the book was most likely accurate, and the errata are probably easy to spot (even if they are really annoying), so I trudged on. I regret that decision. I am now at the end of chapter 4, and have spotted a total of five major errors in the self-tests, and at least a dozen minor errors in the self-tests and the text of the chapters. Also annoying is the ambiguous wording in some of the self-test questions; some of the phrases used are open to interpretation, and should be worded to be less ambiguous. Without knowing how good or bad other SCWCD exam guides are, I'd feel pretty confident in recommending that you should probably go with a different study guide that this one. |

Pro .NET Oracle Programming by Mark A. Williams | Best one, nicely explains the basics and advanced topics of oracle - .NET programming.
A Must read for beginners in Oracle/.NET. - Kumar Shetgar |
|
Expert Oracle JDBC Programming by R.M. Menon Highly recommended! |
Good Things: Lots of excellent real life code examples Good reading for beginners to advanced users; helpful for advanced concepts but also built up to them by explaining the basics ones. Great code optimization recommendations. Well written, easy to understand. Bad Things: No CD that comes with book containing code examples. I also did not find a website with the code examples. |
|
PeopleSoft for the Oracle DBA (Oaktable Press) by David Kurtz Highly recommended! | I have been an Oracle DBA for ten years and needed to ramp up very quickly recently for a large client to support their PeopleSoft environment without time to get training on PeopleSoft. This book fits the void left empty as the other PeopleSoft books are geared toward PeopleSoft application developers and not for an ... |

Mastering Oracle SQL and SQL*Plus by Lex de Haan Highly recommended! | What a pleasure to pick up a computer book and finish it.
I was completely new to SQL and was looking for a book that would get me started, this was it. What impressed me more was when I came upon an obstacle the response I received from the author was quick and informative. Many thanks Lex |
|
Professional Oracle Programming (Programmer to Programmer) by Rick Greenwald, Robert Stackowiak, Gary Dodge Highly recommended! | I have read all the books on Oracle and most seem pretty fluffy - lots of pages but the content is on a pretty basic level. This is the first book I have seen that really delves into the guts of Oracle - how it works, and how to program applications effectively for it. Just what I have been looking for... |
|
Oracle Forms Developer: The Complete Training Course by Benjamin Rosenzweig, Baman Motivala, Ben Rosenzweig Highly recommended! | This is a great book.

It is the best Forms book by far for those who want hands-on, practical experience. I feel confident that I can tackle more complex assignments ...

Oracle9i Developer: PL/SQL Programming by Joan Casteel | This is a text book - this book is written specifically for college classes. Any books you see that are published by Course Technology are text books. This book is written in a format that user's with only SQL knowledge and are brand new to PL/SQL can learn the fundamentals of PL/SQL programming. The text covers... |
|
Beginning Oracle Programming (Expert's Voice) by Sean Dillon, Christopher Beck, Thomas Kyte | This one is great book for anyone who's beginning to learning oracle programming. I bought this book after the T kyte's expert one-on-one so to me I could brush faster thru (some) pages. I guess i'm a sucker when it comes to wrox books. But a good starting point for beginners! |
|
Pro Oracle Spatial by Euro Beinat, Albert Godfrind, Ravikanth V. Kothuri Highly recommended! | Excellent book. I have been using Oracle Spatial for years but found various useful insights in this book. It is well laid out, accessible and covers pretty much all the bases. Good examples and case studies. Tackles the thorny issues around spatial indexing as well as I have seen.
Why can't Oracle do documentation like this ?! Only drawback is that I found some errors in the discussion of transportable tablespaces WRT Spatial data. |
|
Advanced Oracle PL/SQL Programming with Packages (Nutshell Handbook) by Steven Feuerstein | I like this book but it could have been better if it dealt with PL/Vision alot less and about Oracle Package construction in general alot more. The book is more of a 30-70% split in favor of PL/Vision. It was very helpful, but it seemed like an ad for the writer's software at times. |
|
Expert Oracle9i Database Administration by Sam R. Alapati Highly recommended! | An excellent book covering all essential DBA topics for Oracle 9i Administration. Explained very well covering In-depth details, Illustrations and examples makes this book invaluable. I use it as a true source of reference and I will strongly recommend this book. |
|
Oracle PL/SQL Developer's Workbook by Steven Feuerstein Highly recommended! | If there is any book which will "fine-tune" one's knowledge of PL/SQL, this is it. It is written in Feuerstein's inimitable style which will keep you engaged with the book much longer than any other peer book of it's kind. There is so much to learn from this book really - and it applies to beginners as experts alike. ... |
|
Oracle Application Server 10g: J2EE Deployment and Administration by Michael Wessler, Erin Mulder, Rob Harrop Highly recommended! | Great coverage of the Oracle 10g Application server from more of a developer perspective than that of a DBA. With this book and the other text you have complete coverage of this complex technology. |
|
Building Oracle XML Applications by Steve Muench Highly recommended! | 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 |
|
Oracle Developer Forms Techniques (Other Sams) by Bulusu Lakshman Highly recommended! | If you are looking for an advanced, to the point, and concise book, look no further! I am surprised that there has been only one review so far for this book. Oracle Forms is a failrly complex piece of tool. This book teaches you the 'right way' of using the software. It provides a ton of advanced tips like ... |
|
Crystal Reports 9 on Oracle by Marie Annette Harper Highly recommended! | This book by Annette Harper is one of its kind in the market.It explains the various ODBC drivers by a comparitive study which gives us a very good idea as to which driver we should use. The book is very helpful for people who are writing Crystal Reports against Oracle Database. |
|
Oracle Forms Interactive Workbook by Baman Motivala | I work in a position where I train professional programmers for our client. Most of our programmers are transferring from Legacy systems to our new Oracle system. We have started using this book as an alternative to more expensive classroom/online training and have found it very useful. The chapters are small enough...
All of the data and sample forms are available online at a website listed in the books introduction. It's designed to be run on a personal installation of Oracle DB, but I was able to run the provided data creation scripts in our enterprise installation without issue. I used our developement environment and created the data without any modifications to the scripts and no DBA security rights (other than the right to create new tables). Took about 5 minutes of setup and then all my students were able to work with it under their normal developer rights. There is only one downside I've found, and that's the binding. For a book that's designed to be read while doing exercises on the computer, it should have a spiral bound rather than normal book binding. The book does not want to stay open, the margins are too close to the binding, and after several times of forcing it open the bindings are wearing very badly after just a few months. Some copies even have pages starting to fall out. It's a minor thing in comparison to the content, but is awfully frustrating for my students. In summary, we've looked at countless resources and have found this to be one of the best (cost vs. effectiveness) training tools for our programmers. |

Easy Oracle SQL: Get Started Fast Writing SQL Reports with SQL*Plus (Easy Oracle) by John Garmany, Don Burleson | To people that are new to SQL, John Garmany proves that SQL does NOT stand for Scary Query Language. It is an excellent step-by-step primer to take the uninitiated from clueless to competent. What I think is most impressive, is Mr. Garmany's ability to quickly take the student from creating very simple queries to ... |
