annotation
Twelve world-renowned industry specialists give their take on Oracle: where it's been, where it's going, and how (and how not) to use it successfully. The writers also explore software and techniques that they have introduced and some horrific tales of what can happen when fundamental design principles are ignored (usually in favor of "the next big thing").
