Product Description


As Oracle has grown and developed and added new features, books about Oracle have likewise grown oversized and bloated and intimidating for the beginner. This book is a succinct introduction to the overall features of Oracle. It does not get into great depth about any of those features. It is a tutorial in nature. The authors use an example database to teach readers how to turn a Windows server into an Oracle server, configure both the Oracle server and client PCs, enable remote access, work with “customers” on designing the database, normalize the data, turn the concepts into a real relational database, design the GUI forms, write the code, produce the reports, and then web enable the system. The reader will be the DBA, the programmer, and the business analyst. At the end, the reader will have developed a fully functional database, and will have a solid, well-rounded grasp of Oracle.
