The book is classified as an intermediate-level book for DBAs (DataBase Administrators) and application developers. In practice, because there is a great deal of overlap between Oracle8i on Linux and the same product on other platforms, it should also prove useful to people interested in learning more about Oracle generally. Readers are expected to be new to Oracle8i but to have experience with relational database systems. The author's approach is to introduce terminology and concepts and then to intersperse the theory with exercises for hands-on learning.
The book is divided into three parts: getting started (installation and configuration of Oracle8i), the fundamentals of application development and basic database administration. The second part has sections on PL/SQL, Java and the use of database schemas and objects and the third covers access issues, space management, database tuning and protection (i.e. backup and recovery: note that the trial version of Oracle Recovery Manager is not fully functional).
This Starter Kit with its strong focus on exercises and the inclusion of trial software is a good starting point for anyone thinking of making the move to Oracle8i on Linux. --Mark Whitehorn
