✦ Synopsis

This book is a joke. Page 1 of Chapter 1 states "In addition, PL/SQL can be used to develop applications for browsers such as Netscape" - Netscape? Page 9 states "The SELECT statement in the preceding example is supported by multiple versions of Oracle. However, starting with Oracle 9i, the new ANSI 1999 SQL standard is supported as well" - the new ANSI 1999 standard? The only updating that I could see was a few pages in the introduction. Not only has the book not been updated, the book is full of typos and errors that probably have existed since the first edition. The examples don't agree with the explanations of the examples. I had to keep running the code to see which was correct. SQL Developer is ignored (as it did not exist when the only effort was put into this book ten years ago). The authors were too lazy to really update the book so they just slapped a new cover on it and called it updated. Note the dates on the other reviews. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on this book.
