Re: Oracle Book Mal-practice...

SOME Oracle Press books are just fine!! :-) I tend to think the RMAN and New 
Features titles are spectacular successes .... of course, I am a totally and 
completely neutral spectator with respect to those titles!!

I will say that the book I was referring too was on one of the lists of good 
publishers you mentioned below... :-)

good standing. A lot of kind people write me, concerned I may be breaking
the law by saying you have to be a Church member. It's legal I promise! :-)

One of the worst pieces of Oracle information I've ever
seen was in an Oracle Press book...

Addison Wesley and Sam's were two publishers to trust 
once upon a time, don't know if that still holds true, or if
both are still in business.

O'Reilly is generally pretty good.

Apress books that I have seen have all been excellent.
