Probably not what you're looking for!

If you are new to Oracle (and this book is obviously geared toward the new user) you might want to stay away from this book. The author does take a step-by-step approach to installing Oracle and creating databases, etc. but the steps are out of order (you're asked to grant users rights to tables that you have not yet created), code fragments are incorrect (table names change throughout examples) and there is very little "meat" to anything.

In nearly every chapter the author suggest that you go to other documentation for further study. I suggest you bypass this book entirely and move on to something more substantive and accurate.
