 unreadable. May 14, 2006

This was one of the earliest books on Oracle10g new features. As a fact, I believe it was THE earliest book on Oracle10g new features. I didn't have choice, thinking at least I can use it as a reference book.
I was wrong.
It is just a collection of trivial things very badly organized. Every topic gets it's two or three very short paragraphs.
Also, this book is not a normal sized book as other Oracle books I have. Every page can barely content even the very short two or three paragraphs, just make it harder to read.
Anyway, it had been on my book shelf collecting dust for about a couple of years. Last week we were doing spring cleaning. I decided to get rid off it. At first, I was thinking to sell it on eBay, but couldn't bear the thought that someone will be cursing my name. ;). So I just put it into the recycle bin, (not the Windows one, but the one for Waste Management).
 Best 10g new features February 7, 2006

After wasting my money on the Freeman book I got this one because it has far more comprehensive coverage. I detest Oracle Press books and it is refreshing to see the top authors like Mike Ault coming into their own with books that are made for real people.
The one I use most November 26, 2005
I have both of the 10g new features book, and this one has more details that I needed when I moved my 9i database to 10g. The other book is OK, but this one has more inteligence in choosing which features to feature. The organisation is also good.

I have the Freeman 10g new features book, but I found this one to be a much better value because it has more detailed information about the 10g new features. I was also happy that the book shows working examples and it contains a full wealth of "how to" use the new features and not just a rehash of the 10g documents.
Great for what I wanted - the New Features! April 28, 2005

When the New Features books come out with each version of Oracle, I look forward to grabbing the best one and sitting down and reading it. This book has everything that I wanted, the New Features explained thoroughly and examples that help me understand any new concepts. Yes, this book seems like it does rehash the Oracle documentation to, but what book can not somewhat? The good thing is this book goes beyond the Oracle documentation giving you much more. I highly recommended this book for all DBA's who want to keep up on the latest and greatest coming out of Redwood Shores, CA.
