Trying our best to keep the skills of the work force relevant....
My husband is teaching a college level Database class and wants to use Oracle for class assignments. He is looking for a good college textbook to use that will work well with Oracle. He was even considering using the manual :-), but would then have to come up with all of the homework assignments, and chapter summaries himself.
He'll probably find something suitable on his own, but I thought I'd ask this group for any recommendations. Last year he just used Date's recent edition (4 I believe) of his Database book by Addison & Wesley, but found it overkill in the relational math area (which doesn't seem to get used all that much commercially), and lacking in the SQL language and design area (which is a must commercially).
Please email me directly any responses to this, as I bet there aren't a whole lot of other folks out there in this same situation, plus I don't get to read this notes group every day so I might miss your valuable response.
Thank You!
