EXCLUSIVE TOUR OF ORACLE'S NEW PRODUCT AVAILABLE

New Thrills For Database Developers in Oracle Power Objects Guide

Berkeley, CA, August 28, 1995--It's a jungle out there for database
developers who don't keep up with the latest breakthroughs.
Osborne/McGraw-Hill's new book, the Oracle Power Objects Handbook by
professional database developers Bruce Kolste and David Petersen, is the
first and only tour guide available on Oracle's latest entry into the
database market: Oracle Power Objects.

Oracle Power Objects Handbook is officially authorized under the Oracle
Press imprint. First announced in May 1994, Oracle Press was created under
an agreement signed by Oracle Corporation and Osborne/McGraw-Hill.

Oracle Power Objects sets a new standard for databases with a host of
unique capabilities. It runs on both Windows and Macintosh systems. It
also offers many menu-driven database tools and a programming language
similar to Visual Basic. Moreover, it can be used to create a single-user
database or as a front end for large Oracle databases.

The guided tour begins with an introduction of Oracle Power Objects and a
tutorial for creating single-user databases. The pace then gradually
quickens to an intermediate level to explain features such as scripting
buttons, forms, and advanced reporting techniques, and many other
operations including:

* Creating an application
* Object-oriented design
* Importing and exporting data
* Using BASIC programming

Finally, an advanced section demonstrates how to use Oracle Power Objects
to create front ends for corporate databases. Examples and illustrations
are given throughout.

By the end of the tour, experienced database developers and novices alike
will be ready to take charge of this revolutionary new product. With
Oracle Power Objects and the Oracle Power Objects Handbook as a guide,
developers can create databases more powerful and capable than ever before
thought possible.
