Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RE: SQL and PL/SQL tuning template document required urgently
The biggest problem I have with Cary's (and Jeff's!) book is patience.
There's constant mention of "which I'll show you in Chapter 6" and so forth
and it pains me to keep on reading from where I am so's I don't get too
distracted and forget the important concepts I was just reading. :) I also
have so many sticky tabs in the first three chapters that I can't see my
bookmark anymore.
But the upside is it puts my 3-week old to sleep as I read it to her... :D

Neither Tom Kyte's nor Cary Millsap's books are too advanced for beginners.
In the case of Tom's book, they may have to ponder things a bit, and
actually try
the code for themselves to get a good understanding. So what? That's how
you learn.
Regarding Cary's book, what's so hard about it? Beginner's could do much
worse by reading some of the claptrap pablum that is available, but that
will
just make it harder for them to understand the good stuff when they see it.
Also, re the comments about the math in Cary's book: What's the big deal?
So what if you don't understand the math? There isn't really that much of
it,
and you can undestand the material even if you can't follow the proof.
