Hi Girish Thanks for the information.
I would definitely look into this book later.
I don't mind paying any amount of money,if that book gives me the knowledge I want.
As this book is international edition,for shipping it is taking 8-10 business days and by that time I need to complete designing my database and probably I might need to some other book.
Is this a school assignment? I hope so. Referring back to your opening statement "I need to work on designing a database from the scratch by creating logical database design and then physical database design.I'm new to database design." I can only say that database design is a very big subject. If you are starting from a position of no knowledge at all, I'm afraid there is nothing that is going to give you the knowledge you need in the time frame you have. I will say you need to start by learning the rules of Data Normalization. Make your logical design Third Normal Form. Good can be your friend. There is actually a pretty good write-up on Data Normalization on Wikipedia.

Summit Sporting Goods Database

How can I download script to create the Summit Sporting Goods Database ;
In doc. B32122-01 "Oracle Reports User's Guide to Building Reports 11g":
"You can download the SQL scripts to
install the Summit Sporting Goods (SUMMIT) schema from the Oracle Technology
Network (OTN): on the Oracle Reports page
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/index.html),
click Getting Started to display the Getting Started with Oracle Reports home page. In
the list of topic sections on the left, click Index. In the Topic list, choose Building and
Developing Reports; in the Collateral Type list, choose Tools/Utilities, then click
Search. In the list of tools and utilities that displays, click the Download icon to
download the SQL scripts to install the SUMMIT sample schema. "
but I couldn't find it.
Edited by: user10286980 on Aug 17, 2010 3:03 AM
I've got it.

I'm also asking for help. I cannot try out the examples from the book because I don't have SUMMIT schema... Would someone be so kind and send me the SQL scripts so I can have those tables in my database?
my e mail is: [email protected]
thank you

"Good" beginners book to Oracle DB administration

I am as new as it gets to Oracle and I need a good beginners book for database administration. During my searches online I have found mostly poor reviews on all the Oracle DBA beginners books I've found, including Oracles 10g for beginners own publication. The one book I've found that is highly supported, but not necessarily for the newborn, but a must have is "Oracle Database 10g Insider Solutions". I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good books for beginners, that are good books, and for beginners. Those seemed to be the two most common problems in all the reviews I read. The software I'm going to be using is Oracle 10g.

Please do not consider reading any other Oracle books before reading the Oracle documentation. Tom Kyte offers a good list here http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-mar/o26asktom.html. See the section "Where to begin". I also strongly advice reading his book Export Oracle Database Architecture for fundamentals, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590595300/sr=8-1/qid=1154697462/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-8631501-9759232?ie=UTF8.

I Need to build a database/booking and dispatch system that intergrates with iCal, Address Book and all Apple device's What would be the best Way.

Hi
Can anyone give me some useful information on the best ways to design and build a database/booking & dispatch system that can be intergrated through ical, address book and available on my macbook, ipad & iphone and all accessed through icloud.
I started my own chauffuer Service a year ago as an independent. it's becoming a massive bore that most of my time is spent taking down information, checking if i am available for clients and with alot of diary checking and repeatative entries and email ping pong and invoicing, what i want to do is concerntrate on advertising and marketing and using my time off for R & R
What i would like to do is access my information in an app and automate most of the processes like
assigning the job to the client with intergration through iCal and Address Book
be able to email confirmation through mail with an invoice produced through numbers or excel
payment is already done through payleven mobile and must be done in person so i'd rather keep that seperate to all processes apart from a tick box to say it has been paid for.
I have been looking at all options FileMaker, Bento, Automator, Apple Script. to be frank im no expert and am a little confused as to what to do any advice would be greatly recieved.

Hi,
I would suggest that is going to be an involved and complex process.
I would personally look into some of the invoicing and time scheduling software available and see if any fit your needs.
Take a look here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/30/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing/
and here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/31/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing-part-ii-the-q uickening/
for starters.

Whats a good JAVA book?

What do you think is a good Java book for someone who has a little expericne with java? I have experience in COBOL and a little touch of C, and Visual Basic? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Justin

I would suggest Java: an Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch. This book assumes that the reader has no programming experience and it's aimed at students. I realize that you do have experience with COBOL, but I would recommend this one over the Core Java series to start out. Core Java volumes 1 and 2 are not good as an introduction for someone coming from a non-object oriented language. They would be a lot better for someone migrating from C++. They frequently refer to C++ and VB in their examples. They are excellent books, but better as a reference than an initial learning source.

Recommend a good XML book?

I am looking for a good XML book.
I found 'Building Oracle XML Applications' by Steve Muench at AMAZON, but its dated SEP 2000, and for Oracle 8i.
I'm using 9i...will this matter?
Suggestions please...
Thanks
Terry Stevens
UK

you can still get by with it and it is worth buying although it does need upgrading to 9i.
I have managed to produce XML files from it though and applied stylesheets to them so I would recommend it.

Can anybody recommend any good ejb book?

Hi,
I am looking for good ejb books, can anybody recommend any, please?
I would like to have a good book to start with and then another book which could compliment the basics.

A lot of effort went into the on-line review of "Mastering EJB 2" by Ed Roman et. al. at www.theserverside.com. The Server Side participants constantly reviewed the book while it was being written! I think it is the best book on EJBs, but don't take my word for it: check it out. You can download the book in non-printable PDF format from www.theserverside.com under the Resources tab. You'll have to sign up (for free) to download the book.

What is a good rmi book?

can someone please recommned a good rmi book, i know some things about rmi, having taken an advanced os class at college, so i'm familiar with stubs, and rpc, but know little about how to program with rmi. something for beginners, with examples, not all hello world programs.
Thank you.

I am reading �Java RMI� by William Grosso (O�Reilly 2002). I recommend it. I especially like his emphasis on design principles. I wish there were more code to study. I also appreciate explanations on details that are presented as notes and boxes. It�s a very enjoyable book to read, a nice presentation.
My introduction to RMI was chapter 5 (79 pages) of Core Java Volume II by Cay Horstmann (Sun MicroSystems Press 2002). I also recommend this. He has lots of examples and very helpful explanations and insights. I vaguely remember having to set up a Tomcat Web Server for one of the examples.
There are actually two O�Reilly RMI books. The other one is �Java Distributed Computing� by Jim Fairley (1998). I have seen it in bookstores, but I have not read it.
�Java Network Programming� by Elliot Rusty Harold (O�Reilly 2000) suggests �Java Distributed Computing� as further reading in his chapter 18 on RMI. This chapter is short, but as is the entire book, without peer in clarity of explanations. I must admit I only dip into this chapter when I am curious, I haven�t read all of it. But I really like the section Under the Hood.
(Also, somewhere on these forums recently, a person was asking about serialization. One of the replies recommended the 40 page chapter on serialization in Java RMI by Grosso.)

A Good JSP Book

Hi pls can someone recomend a very good 100% book on JSP..?
I would be greateful.
Thanks

Save your money. There is plenty of information available free
on the web.
Start here at the Sun website. There are tutorials, articles, and the
official JSP specification.
Try the IBM website. They are also big boosters of JSP. Their Redbooks
are excellent, also free. Their books frequently refer to VisualAge for Java and WebSphere, both IBM products, but you do not have to use
the IBM products to read the books. Just ignore the IBM-specific stuff
and substitute whatever products you are using.
There are also JSP-oriented sites, such as JSPInsider. When all else
fails use your web search engine (Yahoo/Google) and do a search.
Here are some links you might find useful:

A Good J2EE Book

Can anyone please suggest me a good J2EE book which gives a thorough insight into the technology from basic to the advanced concepts??? Sorry, this may be a repettitive question, but please suggest me. Thanks in advance.

I have just started reading
Beginning Java EE 5: From Novice to Professional
by Kevin Mukhar, Chris Zelenak, James L. Weaver and Jim Crume
Apress ? 2006 (672 pages)
ISBN:1590594703
I cannot yet tell if its good or not.
In my opinion, using a site like Safari or Books 24x7 is more economical than buying a single book or two. For the cost of an annual membership, you could buy 2 books from the bookstore. However, using those type of sites, you will have access to thousands of books that cover many, many topics.
