1	10	1) 10% There are couple of things that I would like O'Naill to cover, but mostly glad that he didn't
1	20	~20% (tablespaces, checkpoints) Chapter 1: Selected Database Instance Installation Topics.   Most of what is listed is too product-specific, so I have no problem with  O'Neill's coverage.  Both books are working towards their respective   focuses, which are much different in this case.
1	30	30% Chapter 1:   Selected Database Instance Installation Topics
2	0	2) 0% Would be interested in learning a little more about SQL Plus
2	10	~10% (saving query results to a file, command files) Chapter 2: SQL*Plus   Again this is fairly Oracle-specific, but O'Neill's very short coverage   was acceptable.  We learned more in class than was in the book on this   topic, though.
2	75	75% Chapter 2:   sql*plus
3	0	3) 0% Also think that learning to deal with a user's account is a useful tool
3	20	20% (privileges in terms of GRANT/REVOKE is familiar) Chapter 3: Database Users   Again quite Oracle-specific.
3	33	33% Chapter 3:    Database Users
4	20	4) 20% I would prefer that table manipulations would be better covered by the O'Neill since its one of the most important features in the database.
4	75	~75%. Chapter 4: Tables    I find all concepts familiar, but only about 75% was covered from what I   remember of O'Neill.  Partitioning and table comments get into the   product-specific areas.
4	80	80% Chapter 4:    Tables
5	20	5) 10% Glad that we didn't cover indexing in the freater details than we did, because it was confusing enough.
5	34	34% Chapter 5:    Indexes
5	70	70%. Chapter 5: Indexes   Some of the partitioning stuff, and unbalanced index detection aren't in O'Neill to my knowledge.
6	85	6) 85% Constraints make a good deal in database design, so I think it was helpful to learn constraints.
6	90	90% Chapter 6:     Constraints
6	90	90%. Chapter 6: Constraints   It would be nice if O'Neill covered constraints a little farther, I think.
7	80	80%. Chapter 7: Views    Reaching the divergence of theory and practice.  I found O'Neill's view  coverage decent.
7	86	86% Chapter 7:    Views
7	95	7) 95% Both books cover similar amounts on VIEWs, which implies that this topic is very important in database implementation, and therefore I am glad that it was covered by O'Neill.
8	0	8) 0% Security is the major issue in any computer related field nowadays, I would prefer if we would cover that as well.
8	9	9% Chapter 8:     Security
8	10	10%. Chapter 8: Security    Security and authentication at this level can get very product-specific,  since it is not standardized through SQL.  It's rather good that O'Neill   didn't go too far into this sort of thing.
9	25	25%. Chapter 9: Space Management    Oracle allows fined-grained control of those issues, but I don't feel that   it's O'Neill's role to go into that depth.
9	75	9) 75% Space managing is also one of the primary concerns for any designer, good thing that we did cover it in this course.
9	100	100% Chapter 9:    Space Management
10	0	0%. Chapter 10: PL/SQL    This is not really relevant for O'Neill - it's an Oracle developer's topic.
10	10	10) 10% A lot of unclear and unfamiliar topics for me, so I am glad that we didn't have to cover most of those.
10	92	92% Chapter 10:    PL/SQL
11	5	11) 5% Haven't heard anything about cursors, but I would like to barely cover it enough to know what it is without going into details.
11	35	~35%. Chapter 11: Querying Data    O'Neill covers cursors to some extent, although we really didn't go there   in class.
11	56	56% Chapter 11:    Querying Data
12	0	0% Chapter 12:    Built-In Packages
12	0	0%. Chapter 12: Built-in Packages   Not familiar at all.
12	10	12) 10% Don't really regret that we didn't cover any built in packages.
13	80	13) 80% Have hardly any understanding of triggers since it's a complicated topic. And I don't find it that important to be studied in any greater details.
13	90	90%. Chapter 13: Triggers    If I recall, we covered triggers decently in O'Neill, and I think the   treatment could have been more in-depth, since the functionality is fairly   common and standard-ish.
13	100	100% Chapter 13:    Triggers
14	0	14) 0% Glad that O'Neill didn't' cover any SQL tuning. I first have to learn how to operate SQL before I would want to tune it.
14	40	40% Chapter 14:     SQL Statement Tuning
14	40	40%. Chapter 14: SQL Statement tuning    O'Neill covered the very basic way: EXPLAIN PLAN and stuff like that, but   more advanced ways and optimizer hinting is product specific, and O'Neill   shouldn't go further.
15	15	15%. Chapter 15: Database Tuning    These sorts of issues are not product-specific, although ways of retrieving   system statistics would be.  I think O'Neill should go further into these   sorts of issues.
15	20	15) 20% Again, good thing that we didn't cover the database tuning in greater details, because it seems like there is a lot of deep and complicated procedures.
15	54	54% Chapter 15     Database Tuning
16	35	16) 35% I think that amount of relational database we covered is enough for this course, even though I have very poor understanding of it.
16	35	~35% ?. Chapter 16: Create an Object Relational Database   Chapter 4 is O'Neill's coverage of ORDBMS stuff, and we haven't covered that   at all... I'm not terribly qualified to comment on the coverages.
16	100	100% Chapter 16:     Create an Object Relational Database
17	0	17) 0% This is a chapter that definitely needs to be studied since database is closely related to web application. Plus, web application is something that interests me a lot.
17	0	0%. Chapter 17: Oracle Web App. Server    This is not really database material - it's barely relevant for the Oracle   book.
17	63	63% Chapter 17:     Oracle Web Application Server
