All were looking for an introductory text about the Oracle Database that described key features and gave a practical background and context of how and when to leverage these features when deploying the Oracle Database. They were looking for a single volume that would also help them determine the Oracle documentation and other publications that should be explored for more detail. The Oracle Essentials editions have generally appeared about every 3 to 5 years matching when Oracle releases a new version of the Database. As time passed and new editions were written, we've found a few trends. The feature list in the Oracle Database has greatly expanded, while at the same time, the Database has become more self-tuning and managing. The surrounding technologies have greatly changed and broadened due to Oracle's ongoing development and acquisitions. So the book has undergone significant changes from edition to edition to reflect these changes in order to provide a current view of what the Oracle ecosystem is. We hope that you enjoy our latest edition and find it useful as so many others have in the past. - Robert Stackowiak About the Author Rick Greenwald has been active in the world of computer software for over two decades, including stints with Data General, Cognos, and Gupta.
