Libro muy bien estructurado y muy didactico. Imprescindible para manejo de bases de datos mediante Perl
Rating: - totally misleading title
I bought this book to learn some advance database programming specifically with Oracle which the book claims it does cover. However, what I found was a perl mysql programming book that has devoted half its contents to web site development (which I'm not interested in).

MySQL is good database but not the best, I prefer PostgreSQL over MySQL, and my book is now archived.

Rating: - so easy to read with a lot of information
I really enjoyed reading this book. The whole book is like a big piece of source code with line-by-line explaination.

I wish every book on perl can be written this way.
