1.0 out of 5 stars An exercise in frustration, April 13 2004

By

Truth Seeker (Burbank, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL Interactive Workbook (Paperback)

I bought this in hoping to find a PL/SQL book that could give me a real life lab exercise. I gave up on this book. The examples would sometime refer to advanced topics not discussed. There were errors. The exercises did not appear to be kitchen tested before the book was published. I am still looking for a good PL/SQL book that has good interactive lab exercises, if you find one please let the rest of us know.

This book is awful. Elena, the author, mostly read from the textbook. Anyone can read from the textbook. Why buy this book if the author just going to read from the text?

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly structured, Jun 11 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL Interactive Workbook (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

If you like a structured lesson, then you will find this confusing. Usually you expect a lesson then examples and labs. In this book the lessons are mixed in the labs. Lessons often use something that isn't covered until a later chapter, but they don't mention this. This book looks to be rushed too early to publishing. If you are OK with a scattered instruction method, then this is the book for you. Unfortunately there aren't many alternatives to this book.
