I've read in the past years the previous edition of this book (it covered 9i and 10g).
Mr. Kyte is a fine technical writer, and he shows everything with real examples!
This is a "must" for every Oracle DBA and Developer!
Beyond a doubt, one of the best Oracle books ever written!

Hard to review this here in a few lines, but what I can say is that you really learn a lot about how the Oracle RDBMS works and how to use lots for your programming.

[Dave Peticolas · Rating 3 out of 5]

An extremely thorough guide to developing applications with the Oracle database, including information on the server architecture, data files, data types, indexes, encryption, and more.
