Computer professionals increasingly rely on the Web, online help, and other online information sources to relieve information pain. Now O'Reilly's Oracle PL/SQL CD Bookshelf allows convenient online access to updates of favorite O'Reilly Oracle books. The Oracle PL/SQL CD Bookshelf contains a powerhouse of Animal books for the Oracle PL/SQL developer--all readable with a web browser on a convenient CD-ROM. A bonus hard-copy book, Oracle PL/SQL Programming: A Guide to Oracle 8i Features, is also included. In addition, the CD-ROM includes the complete text of seven books: Oracle PL/SQL Programming; Advanced PL/SQL Programming; Oracle Web Applications; Oracle Built-in Packages; Oracle PL/SQL Pocket Reference; Oracle Built-ins Pocket Reference; and Oracle PL/SQL Programming: A Guide to Oracle 8i Features. Never has it been easier to learn, or look up, needed information. Formatted in HTML, The Oracle PL/SQL CD Bookshelf can be read by any web browser. The books are fully searchable and cross-referenced. In addition to individual indexes for each book, there's a master index for the entire library.

Review:

This package from O'Reilly is a wonderfully comprehensive resource for anyone working with Oracle. On the CD-ROM is the full text of seven authoritative tomes: five of which are chunky books and two useful pocket references (though their pocketability is somewhat reduced in this format).

The CD-ROM provides a web interface with a combined index for all the texts, citing the source book and giving a clickable link. It's not a perfect index, however: searching for "definer rights", a five-page section in one book, produced no entry. But isn't that always the way with indexes? They're stuffed with entries except for the ones you want.

The superhumanly industrious Steven Feuerstein is either sole or joint author of all bar one of these books and his approachable writing style on such weighty topics is always welcome. Despite that, none of these books is an ideal introduction to Oracle for the complete beginner--all are aimed at those with development experience, who are programming or who intend to start. Whatever the goal, whether it's gaining an understanding of built-in packages (which let you associate related program elements for re-use time and time again) or producing a web-based database application, there is likely to be something relevant in this collection of goodies. --Mark Whitehorn
