Written by Oracle experts, this book explains how to build custom BI applications using Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition. The book covers all of Oracle's BI product offerings, including Oracle Warehouse Builder and the recently acquired and incorporated Siebel Analytics product. Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Developer's Guide teaches you how to design a BI database, load data using Oracle's ETL tool, and execute reporting, publishing, and analysis. The book puts the tools in context and offers real-world advice on the most appropriate approach to take for specific BI deployments.

The book starts with the history of versions and the advantage of learning BI publisher is that BI publisher developer can develop reports not just for Oracle but also for Siebel, JD Edwards and PeopleSoft. The book gives step by step guided practice lessons. In short I would recommend this will be a great selection to start with.

A good book for an introduction to Oracle, but especially good if you are interested in the areas of Business Intelligence, HTML-DB, XML DB and Regular Expressions
