Description
Oracle is the enterprise database of choice for the majority of businesses (holding 42% of the Unix/Linux and Windows market in 2002). The intent of this book is to present a "big picture" of Oracle and Oracle development, covering:
* How Oracle (and Oracle development), has evolved over the years (from being used to achieve local tactical objectives to a corporate resource used for mission-critical strategic applications).
* Landmark projects with which the authors have been involved and lessons learned.
* Key techniques and processes that emerged along the way, in response to the challenges thrown up by various projects, and their relevance today.
