ORACLE RESOURCE GUIDE
Visionary Software, Inc., is pleased and excited to announce the arrival
of its newest product, THE 1994 ORACLE RESOURCE GUIDE, the most complete
resource for Oracle-related product and service information. The focus
of this guide on Oracle information sources is general, and contains new
sources made available from January 1993 through June 1994. The 1994
ORACLE RESOURCE GUIDE is the most extensive index of Oracle information
available today and is a "must have" for anyone who works with the Oracle
RDBMS. This 300-plus page, perfect-bound guide will be an invaluable addition to your professional library. Whether you are looking for the most complete list of query and reporting tools which work with Oracle, a description of Oracle-related books published in 1993, or a comparison of Oracle-related educational options, the guide is for you.
Taking advantage of relational methods of information storage and
retrieval
the 1994 ORACLE RESOURCE GUIDE is organized to resemble a relational
database. An Entity-Relationship diagram (ERD) is provided to illustrate
the interrelationship of the available information. This method of
presenting information is both effective and approachable and enhances
the users ability access the information provided.
The 1994 ORACLE RESOURCE GUIDE contains sections on the following topics:
Introduction Products Companies Books Magazines Education User Groups Electronic Services Conferences
PRODUCTS
The Oracle Resource Guide describes over 800 individually-listed Oracle-
related products. To be included on this list, the product must explicitly
state in its advertising, promotional material, and/or documentation that
it works in conjunction with the Oracle RDBMS. Each product entry contains
a short description and a list of useful attributes. The 1994 ORACLE
RESOURCE GUIDE also contains summary listings which separate the products
into functional categories. For example, to see the most complete list of
application development tools that work with Oracle, this section
provides a table with the product names, company names, phone numbers and
approximate cost.
COMPANIES
The company section lists over 300 companies which provide Oracle-related
products and services. Contact information and product summary
information
is provided for each company. If you need to know if a
specific company provides an Oracle-related product, (and if so, how to
contact them), this section will be invaluable. Additionally, a phone
directory of all listed companies is included in this section.
BOOKS
The book section of the Oracle Resource Guide identifies over 40 books
specifically written about the Oracle RDBMS. Each citation contains a
brief summary of the book as well as availability, cost and contact
information for the publisher. The newest books printed during 1993 are
highlighted in a special tabular feature.
MAGAZINES
The magazine section enumerates popular database magazines that
consistently carry Oracle-related articles. In addition to listing
availability, contact, and subscription availability information for each
magazine, the Oracle Resource Guide includes a list of each Oracle-related
article that appeared in that particular magazine during 1993.
EDUCATION
The Education section of the Oracle Resource Guide compiles a directory
of companies that provide Oracle-specific educational services such as
classroom instruction, computer-based interactive training and audio and
video-based training. The Oracle Resource Guide contains a list of
courses which each company provided in 1993, as well as details on
training level, time necessary to complete the course, and cost.
USERS GROUPS
The Users Group section contains a complete listing of user groups in the
United States and abroad. The Oracle Resource Guide provides information
concerning the users groups leaders, structures, meeting schedules and
member volume. Complete contact information for each user group is
included.
ELECTRONIC SERVICES
This section enumerates companies that maintain on-line systems or
bulletin board services which have a forum or conference that is
Oracle-related. Each company/services entry includes a full listing of
downloadable files available on each system.
CONFERENCES
The Conference section provides information on conferences, conventions,
and meetings which occur on an annual basis that present information
specific to the Oracle RDBMS. A list of Oracle-related papers presented
at each conference is provided where available.
JUST THE BEGINNING
This guide is the first in what will be an annual publication which will
provide users of the Oracle RDBMS with an effective resource for
identifying and acquiring the products, services and information they
need. During 1994 Visionary Software will continue to identify new
sources of Oracle information, to locate additional companies and
products, and to refine and improve our methods of providing this vital
information.
