Great SQL Book for Oracle.

[Jasmine · Rating 1 out of 5]

Im one chapter in and im just frustrated. The ERD could be explained in a more beginner friendly way. The companion website is garbage and does not include the resources is says it would include 'the student schema diagram' and its just very dense and wordy. the explanations are not written for the beginner. they are written for someone who has had some type of experience within the industry.

I'm frustrated. The minimum the author could do to benefit the book is to provide video explanations or guidance or some additional resources on the website.

I'm disappointed, frustrated and its only the first week of school and first chapter.
