Title: Good but needs work
Review: I found this book to be a good reference though it should be used in conjunction with/to supplement the Oracle doc set. It is a bit problematic though that it does not cover OCI or Pro*C as mentioned in another review.However, the money is still well spent as is the money you would spend on buying Oracle vs SQL Server 7.0. Oracle provides better cost of ownership and is infinitely more scaleable than SQL Svr 7.0 could ever hope to be so in the long run you get what you pay for. The cost in downtime alone of SQL Srvr will make up that price difference in no time and eventually cost you more to have gone with the "cheaper" solution. Besides, 9 out of 10 of the biggest web sites (including this one!) can't be wrong. Go with Oracle or be left in the dust.
Is the review positive or negative?
