the only docs oracle produces for forms, reports, designer, etc... are release notes which are worthless. you can pay oracle for a class and get some that way.

the 6i books are good enough. oracle didnt change that much. though you will have to dig into the help to learn the new featuers.

the lack of documentation, just doesnt make practical sense. Received on Wed Oct 29 2003 - 13:29:38 CET
