Oracle Essentials [Electronic resources] : Oracle Database 10g, 3rd Edition نسخه متنی

Preface

The Oracle database is a product that is both rich and deep. To
address the complexities and variations in this product, Oracle books
and documentation tend to be long and somewhat intimidating. Most of
them either cover a broad scope of functionality in a fairly cursory
way or delve deeply into complex and rather narrow topics, sometimes
missing the forest for the trees by concentrating on the multitude of
details of a particular subject. This book aims to be different. We
want to give you an in-depth explanation of the forest
itselfthe concepts and features of the Oracle database. With
this information, you should be better prepared to tackle any
particular tree in that forest, with any number of other books.

As Oracle professionals (all of whom have worked for Oracle
Corporation), we've found that a lot of Oracle users
need brief explanations of similar topics. For some time,
we'd wanted a book that describes all the underlying
principles that shape the Oracle database, written concisely for an
intelligent audience. We found that the explanations were scattered
among many manuals and books and were often too complex or too
simplistic. After a good deal of complaining, we finally decided to
write the book ourselves. As this is now the Third Edition of
Oracle Essentials, we've
concluded that a number of you were looking for the same thing!
