Amazon.co.uk Review
Sixteen individuals and "The Churchill Team" put this book together and its breadth is remarkable. Oracle's core strength remains its robustness as a database management system but technology advances, languages evolve and we want to do more and different things with our data over the Web and within intranets. Professional Oracle 8i Application Programming focuses on Oracle's support for Java and XML, as well as on Oracle's own PL/SQL database language, and how to develop applications using all three. The first five chapters present the background to current thinking on database application development, including discussion on N-tier applications and connectivity. Three sections then cover PL/SQL and the Web, Java and XML: primers for the last two are included as appendixes. Acronyms such as XSU, SAX and DAD rain down thick and fast and Chapter 23 sports the unlikely title of Application Integration using Soap (oh, all right, SOAP). Simple Object Access Protocol is just one among the many technologies you can learn about within the 1,200-odd pages of this book. The target reader should be a programmer with a database background as assumptions are made about general database and SQL knowledge. The usefulness of this book to anyone in the expanding world of Oracle programming easily conquers the slightly schizophrenic use of I and we, sometimes in consecutive paragraphs. P.S. XSU is Oracle XML SQL Utility, SAX is Simple XML for API (Application Programming Interface) and DAD is Database Access Descriptor. --Mark Whitehorn

A tour of Oracle technologies November 27, 2002
To produce this book, Wrox took twenty expert Oracle developers and had each of them write about their area of expertise. The result is that whether you are a manager, a developer, or a DBA, if you are working with Oracle 8i this book should be on your desk. This book covers virtually every topic that you need to understand about the Oracle 8i development platform. It does not cover each topic completely but it provides a thorough and in most cases sufficient introduction on each topic. For a particular topic of interest you may need an additional book but to get all the information found in this book you would need ten volumes at least. The book opens with an introduction to Oracle 8i and some of its components including Net8 (Oracle's network solution) and Designer 6i (Oracle's development environment). The next section covers PL/SQL and PSP (this is similar to JSP). This is followed by an extensive section covering Java. This section covers JDBC, SQLJ, EJB, and interMedia (Oracle's powerful search tool). The last section covers XML and includes information on DOM and SAX parsers, SOAP, XSL, XSQL, and more. Extensive case studies are scattered throughout the book. Examples show how to use Oracle tools such as BC4J to develop enterprise applications. The book even includes primers on Java and XML. As a tour of all the features of Oracle 8i, this book is without competition.

A must have for all using Java/XML on the Oracle platform May 27, 2001
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
One of the best books around for database application developers working with Java/XML on the Oracle platform and who don't nowadays! The book is up-to-date with Oracle 8.1.7 and covers new aspect such as JDBC2.0 and the Java to native compiler (NCOMP). I give it five stars because it covers all important Java/XML aspects in great detail and because it already proved its worth by providing me with solutions for really tricky problems. The only neagtive thing I can think of is its size...
Essential Reading for Oracle/Java/XML Integration January 23, 2001
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
If you're interested in developing n-tier applications using the latest technologies then this book is a must. Ties together the new features of the 8i EE database (inc new PL/SQL) with Java, EJBs and XML. Makes understanding the integration of these so much easier than a collection of books on the respective technologies ever could.
