Practical Oracle 8i - Comments and Corrections


Inevitably there are corrections to be made, and useful comments to be added to any book on the Oracle database. This pages lists the chapters of the book, and the date on which I last added an item.

Since the book has only just come out, you won't be too surprised to find that there aren't many updates yet - if there is no date in the 'last update' column, there is nothing on the page.

If you want to contribute anything to the area, send me an email - if I can produced a suitable test case of the issue you describe I will publish a note about it here.
