Why would you have to read online ? Choose the PDF and let Acrobat Reader save a local copy for printing. mvg/regards Jo ryan_gaffuri@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 08/27/2004 14:47 Please respond to oracle-l To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: Subject: Re: Books to suggest save your money. go here (dont have the link to the 10g docs handy...) http://www.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.homepage read the 'concepts' document. skip the stuff on java. oracle has very good. free documentation. downside is you have to read it online... i think you can buy it from them to get it in book form. If you really want to buy a book, try out 'Beginning Oracle Programming'. Skip the PL/SQL chapters, they aren't that good. Best chapters in the book are chapters 5-8. OCP books are not very good for learning Oracle. The free docs are much better. -------------- Original message -------------- > > Hi all, > I'm looking for some advice on purchasing an Oracle book.
