Title: More a light survey of methods than usable examples
Product review: This book LIGHTLY touches on different methods of accessing databases, and mildly covers Oracle. It never even mentions Oracle new tools for Web related developement (a glaring omission in my opinion, it's what I was really hoping for given this books misleading title), it just covers generic methods for accessing databases from the web. It takes 300 pages to get to some usable code(!), and even then it's a pretty lame choice of technological solution as to how the access is done. A coulple of chapters are spent blathering on a about Oracle's SQL Administator (Why? of what use is this for this book?). Also covered is a basic primer on Oracle SQL that is also unneeded. I had high hopes for this book and was VERY disappointed. I would NOT reccomend this book to anyone.
