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

"The book...has enough depth for even a seasoned professional to pick up enough tips to pay back the price of the book
many times over."
