Junk

This book only covers basic features in Oracle 8i and there's no example code accompanying the book. PL/SQL is covered in a scant 10 pages and there's no meaningful coverage of large objects or collections.

Given O'Reilly's usual high quality, this book is a surprising miss. My advice: buy another book, there are plenty to choose from.
