an assertion about Oracle Ed.

I am finally working my way thru Tom Kyte's first book 'expert one-on-one', after reading( I am not ashamed to say, tho I've worked as a developer and dba w/Oracle products since the mid-80's, am OCP
'certified' and so on ) 'Beginning Oracle Programming'. I think
'expert' to be a remarkable book( though not unique - there are a few
others from individuals with the right stuff ) - partly because it shows what one person with the necessary work ethic and other desirable qualities can accomplish, all the while making it look easy - he also had some formidable help, as noted here:

   After seeing what is possible I was led to consider the following assertion: The number one reason for the sorry state of Oracle understanding is none other than Oracle Education. Aside from the usual diatribes that will appear I wonder how others who have thought a little about this over the years might respond. Received on Wed Jul 31 2002 - 11:03:00 CDT
