The best hands-on guide to Oracle SQL - now updated for Oracle 11g

and reorganized for even faster learning

° Classroom-tested worldwide! Teaches Oracle SQL through hundreds of practical lab

exercises crafted by one of the world's leading database instructors

° 100% focused on Oracle SQL for Oracle 11g, today's #1 database platform -- not

"generic" SQL!

° Supported by a thorough, highly-useful web site

Summary

Oracle users, administrators, and developers don't want to settle for a generic

SQL guide: they need one that helps them make the most of Oracle's

implementation of SQL. For years, Alice Rischert's Oracle SQL by Example

has been that book. Drawing on decades of experience teaching Oracle at

Columbia University, Rischert teaches Oracle SQL hands-on, using more realworld

examples and exercises than any other book. Now, she's completely

updated her long-time best-seller to fully reflect Oracle 11g's new version of

Oracle SQL.

This book has proven its value to every type of Oracle SQL user, including

technology students using it to complement a course; technology pros who

need a rapid quickstart with Oracle; seasoned Oracle users who want to

leverage its newest capabilities; and database novices just starting out. This

edition will be even more valuable to all of them:

" Inexperienced readers will find more complete and helpful introductions to

relational database theory and SQL*Plus

" Experienced readers will find more tips, tricks, and techniques - from

optimizing multi-table joins to using third-party query tools

" Upgraders to Oracle 11g will find thorough coverage of key enhancements in

areas such as data warehousing

Rischert has reorganized this book to deliver more knowledge sooner - and

she's also reorganized her companion Web site, providing quicker access to

solutions and sample data. The result: a book that teaches Oracle SQL even

more rapidly and effectively

"This is a fascinating guide into the world of Oracle SQL with an abundance of well-collected examples. Without a doubt, this

book is helpful to beginners and experts alike who seek alternative ways to resolve advanced scenarios."-Oleg Voskoboynikov, Ph.D., Database Architect
