After reading the comments here on the list about
Harrison's book I checked out the publisher's (PTR)
web site.
I read Harrison's first edition long ago, and then got
the second edition in 2001. Comparing the two
editions, there are subtle differences. Some errors in
the first edition are edited out of the second, but
without explanation. Humm? Too bad.
Some PTR authors (not this book) link to a "companion
website" allowing for errata submissions/postings, but
Harrison's book has no link to submit and read errata.

The official support files for the book are at:
ftp://ftp.prenhall.com/pub/ptr/database.w-050/oraclesql2/
I think its unfortunate that some publisher's/author's
do not consider accepting and publishing current
errata. If anyone knows of errata for Harrison's book,
please pass it along.
I know O'Reilly' errata for the "Millsap and Holt" and
"Tow" books are good. The publisher, author, and
editors deserve a *congrats* when they do a good job
on book support like these two books.
Regards,
Mike Thomas
