What is the point if you cannot run your queries

When it comes to technical books, the first thing that you would like to do is to check hands-on the examples given. I was so surprised and stumped that I poured money down the drain for a book, which the author assumes - can be read like a novel. Mr. Sanjay Mishra -Do understand that Oracle queries is not a Dan Brown novel where you can read page after page. I am utterly disappointed that even after you have Oracle Express available for free, you do not have one single instance of the part distributor database that can be used by the poor "SQL learners" audience of the book.

I HATE IT. I HATE IT. I HATE IT. when I can read through something and not work.

Get this book ONLY IF YOU feel like reading an Oracle version of a fiction novel. What was the author thinking? Shucks..!!
