Jonathan Lewis's new book "Practical Oracle8i: Building Efficient Databases" can now be ordered at Amazon. Many of you already know Jonathan's web site and the quality of his other contributions to the Oracle community, so you don't need me to recommend this book. For the rest, let me assure you (as a technical reviewer who has already had the opportunity of reading it) that you will get excellent value from this book. For more information, please see my comments on the Ixora web site's page of Advanced Oracle Resources.
