This book gives you not only detailed explaination on very facet of Oracle in a plain, easy to understand language but also displays a clear map of how each components related and how they work together.

I picked this book up to re-aquaint myself with Oracle. As a developer, I typically only dive into SQL-PLUS and data modeling. This book explains everything a developer needs to know about the vast, and I mean VAST feature set of Oracle. Plus this book brought me up to speed on 9i... Such as features in 9i such as Real Application Clusters, a new XML datatype, and the CREATE TABLE... AS SELECT. This book is perfect for an application developer, an IT manager, or a beginning DBA new to Oracle. This book is worth twice its price!! Kudos to Greenwald, Stern, and Stackowiak.
Not too deep, Not too wide, Good for a little experienced

Obviously the authors are well versed in the intracacies of Oracle. I have heard of Jonathan Stern from within the industry. He is a genius.
