Oracle Discoverer Handbook ReviewThe first book written on Oracle's award winning business intelligence software is a real gem. It is well structured, easy to read and extremely informative, being written from an expert users point of view and packed with useful examples, hints and tips. I was particularly impressed with the very practical nature of the information, with examples how to use Discoverer to answer a wide range of common business questions and analysis. Instead of explaining simply how to use Discoverer (although the book is excellent at this as well), it explains how to get the information you want from your database, and how to use that information to find out more about your business, using real-world, practical examples.
It also covers some of the pre-requisite steps in using Discoverer and does an excellent job of identifying the various roles that together will make up a successful Discoverer site. Covering the Web and Windows User Editions (now called Discoverer Plus), it goes through many useful examples of building new queries, covering calculations, conditions, parameters, percentages, totals, sorts, formatting, reporting, exception reporting, charting, and most importantly, analysis. An 'Advanced' section is as easy to read as the initial part of the book, and covers drilling and query management as well as sophisticated (but still practical) examples building on some of the earlier work. There is a very useful appendix on the function set supported by Discoverer (although this is now extended with Discoverer 4i), and a tutorial database that is used throughout the book.
The book concentrates on the User Edition (Discoverer Plus) on the web and Windows, maybe when the authors find time they should consider writing a sequel (no pun intended!) on the Discoverer Administration Edition, aimed at people who have to build Discoverer systems from scratch. It would also be useful to have a similar book or section on the Discoverer Viewer, the HTML version of the same software that brings this functionality to the web and allows customised Business Intelligence reports to be embedded in web sites.
All in all this is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone using or considering using Discoverer, or indeed to anyone who wants to see how they can truly leverage all that information lurking in their corporate database, and get it out to the user base where it belongs. Great job Micheal and Darlene!
