This work serves as a reference on Oracle8 and contains information on handling very large databases (VLDBs) and Oracle Context. It features tutorial, theory and command references. The accompanying CD-ROM includes the reference section and all tables covered in the book. The book has been updated to cover versions 7.0 through 8.0. The book is organized into six parts. Part One introduces database concepts. Part Two discusses SQL (structured query language), which allows programmers to process information to and from a database. Part Three is the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Data Dictionary". Part Four discusses database design considerations. Part Five is an alphabetical reference for virtually every Oracle command. Part Six lists the tables used in the book. The book offers both coverage of using Oracle and a substantial command reference listing the syntax and sample usage for every major command. It also includes a new chapter called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Oracle Optimizer".
