Re: Java Programmer just getting started with Oracle......
For web development stuff, look all over Oracle's web sites (metalink.oracle.com, docs.oracle.com and technet.oracle.com) for stuff on "three tier architecture" etc. My guess (mainly stupid) is that you want to concentrate on "middle tier" (application server) related stuff, not so much "pure" dba issues. Here is what is probably the best other Developer resource: http://www.odtug.com Note that their email lists are free to non-members. regards, ep On 17 Apr 2001, at 15:55, tom panzarella wrote: Date sent: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 15:55:49 -0800 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... > I'm a Java programmer looking to start getting into building > applications backended by Oracle. ... -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Eric D.

Java Programmer just getting started with Oracle......
Hello. I'm new to Oracle and am looking for some "guru" guidance on some resources to tap in order to get up to speed (preferrably quickly). I'm a Java programmer looking to start getting into building applications backended by Oracle. I am comfortable with Java (including JDBC) and SQL. I have experience with other database systems (Progress, PostgreSQL, MySQL) but am a total newbie to Oracle. I'm not looking to become an Oracle DBA but as an application programmer there is certainly some level of DBA skills needed as well as an overall understanding of how the backend system works in order to do my job affectively. I recently read and did all associated exercises in the "Oracle8i for Linux Starter Kit" which definitely gave me a nice overview and hands on practice of using the Oracle system. The book was good as a "starter kit" (just as the title states) and now I am looking to get some more depth. My questions to the list are: 1. How much of an "Oracle DBA" do I need to be in order to write affective applications using Oracle and Java? 2. Any good books that you would recommend (that you have read)? I have thought that my next purchase would be "Oracle DBA 101": http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=0072121203&vm= or "Oracle Essentials: Oracle8 and Oracle8i": http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oressentials/ I am assuming that after getting somewhat more familiar with Oracle and the basics of Oracle Administration, a good book to move on to would be the big fat Wrox Press book on Oracle8i Application Programming: http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=1861004842&vm= Any advice or comments that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
