- the book_copies creation statement currently reads:
CREATE TABLE book_copies(
barcode_id VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
isbn VARCHAR2(13) FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES books(isbn)
);
Although the text will build the table, I would like it to read
as follows int he next printing:
CREATE TABLE book_copies(
barcode_id VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
isbn VARCHAR2(13) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT book_copies_isbn_fk FOREIGN KEY (isbn) REFERENCES books (isbn)
);

4th paragraph |
currently reads:
Notice that book_copy_qty returns a VARCHAR2, which is a acceptable
input datatype to concatenate with text and print using PUT_LINE.
Please change that to read:
Notice that the result returned from book_copy_qty gets concatenated
with the 'Number of copies...' string as the argument to PUT_LINE.
(And, if there is space available, please add an asterisk on the word
"result" and the following footnote:
*The function returns a NUMBER, which runtime engine converts to a
string to allow the concatenation to succeed.)

- The section is "HTML Basics" (Chapter 4). The paragraph before |
it notes "The rule says that you must close the inner element before the
outer one. Thus, the following example is logically incorrect:
<OUTER>
<INNER>
This illustrates the RIGHT way to nest elements
</INNER>
</OUTER>"
