Useless and confusing

This book tells a lot of notions about oracle db, and this can be at first interesting for beginners, but without a logical order: there is no structure, there is no logical consequence in what is written, sometimes even in the same page

This aspect is particular evident in the bakup and recovery section: the authors have written a blob of informations totally unrelated with each other

The choice of the topics is very strange too: there is nothing about fundamental topics, like oracle installation (not even for windows) but there is place for very advanced topics, not so useful for beginners, like xml in oracle db and data partitioning.

The result: this book can be attractive for the large numbers of topics discussed, but it can be very, very confusing
