OracleDataSource ds = new OracleDataSource();

the '-' before the '()' should be removed.

Figure 17-1

For Figure 17-1 of P413, in my experiment with exactly the same transaction setting
as the book uses (and I use ORACLE).

when session one did a 'DELETE' on one record, the 'insert' of the same record from
session two blocked. but the book says "Insert fails with duplicate values'.

I tried out everything in this Figure, For everything else I got the same result as
the book except the above one.
