Re: good books on Oracle8

Stay tuned...

Next week (Friday, April 26), RevealNet will be coming out with the 3rd Quarter Updates of the RevealNet Oracle Knowledge Bases which will cover Oracle8.
Demo downloads will be available from http://www.revealnet.com Sneak previews will be available live at Oracle Open World at the RevealNet booth.

The 3rd Quarter Update is very robust, including a partial listing of Oracle8 topics:

• Overview discussion of Oracle8 Features
• Overview of Object Technology
• v7 - v8 Migration Methodology
• Pitfalls to avoid in the migration process
• How convert an O7 relational table to O8 object-based format
• Oracle8 INIT.ORA parameters with detailed descriptions
• Oracle8 SQL hints with usage examples
• Oracle8 Collections, Nested Tables, VARRAYS
• How to implement O8 Objects
• "Just how "object-oriented" do you want to make the PL/SQL in your application?"
• What tables in the Data Dictionary to query
• How to deal with schema changes after you've already built tables on your object types
• ...plus much more

In addition, a new section has been added covering Oracle/Windows NT Administration, Configuration, Tuning and Debugging. A TNS/SQL*Net "Frequently Asked Questions" area has also been added.  

Best wishes,
