Appendix B. Additional Resources
In this concise volume, we've attempted to give you
a firm grounding in all the basic concepts you need to understand
Oracle and use it effectively. We hope we've
accomplished this goal.At the same time, we realize that there is more to using a complex
product such as Oracle than simply understanding how and why it works
the way it does. Although you can't use Oracle
without a firm grasp of the foundations of the product, you will
still need details if you're actually going to
implement a successful system.This appendix lists two types of additional sources of information
for the topics covered in this bookrelevant web sites, which
act as a constantly changing resource for a variety of information,
and a chapter-by-chapter list of relevant books, articles, and Oracle
documentation.For the chapter-by-chapter list, the sources fall into two basic
categories: Oracle documentation
and third-party sources. Typically, the Oracle documentation provides
the type of hands-on information you will need regarding syntax and
keywords, and the third-party sources cover the topics in a more
general and problem-solving way. We've listed the
third-party sources first and ended each listing with the relevant
Oracle documentation. Also note that some of the volumes listed here
include previous Oracle release names in their titles. You can assume
that by the time you are reading this, similar volumes exist (or will
soon exist) for whatever version of Oracle you may be using (for
example, Oracle Database 10g).
