Negative Positive
Title: Poorly written
Review: I found this book on sale for $15, and since my company is using Oracle more and more I picked it up. Having read other books in the USING series, I expected this one to be quite good. Unfortunately, it's not. The author does not explain things well at all, and has a nasty habit of using abbreviations but only explaining what they stand for once. I found myself continually turning back pages to find out what an abbreviation stood for.There is also not nearly enough information on PL/SQL in this book. This is one of the primary reasons I purchased it in the first place. And this book is definitely not suited for beginners. I have limited Oracle experience, and am also experienced in SQL and found this book to be above a beginner's level. Also, it is a very dry read.
Is the review positive or negative?
