By: Carol McCullough-Dieter, Ned Dana
Includes accurate, easy-to-follow tutorials on Structured Query Language (SQL), the Enterprise Manager, system tables, and the data-dictionary views that derive from them. The coverage of Object SQL, though brief, is particularly praiseworthy, and there's a similarly fine but short introduction to SQLJ, the Java-based language that's slated to replace PL/SQL.
