    There is a lot of good ideas in this book. And Nanda shows you how they can be implemented.

    Every time I read this book, I pick up something new.

    This book is readable with great examples and walk-through.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference guide and resource book
    Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2018
    This book covers a wide variety of topics related to Oracle database programming, focusing on features that are often overlooked or underused. It was interesting to read the book and learn more about Oracle, although I'm not sure how much I'll actually use the different features that were covered. Some of the features that were covered aren't available in Oracle Express so I wasn't able to try them out, which was disappointing.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good contents, poor codes.
    Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2021
    Author(s) took deep dives into SQL and PL/SQL. The contents are more than awesome. However, the coding style is terrible. I can't see indentations at all. It is a torture to read the codes in this book.
