Very informative book on various DBA Tasks

This is a very informative book containing info on the common and everyday tasks a DBA would need to perform on the job. It covers everything a DBA should know and has some tips. It's written in an easy-to-follow language and it's also "fun" to read. It's a pleasure to read plus you'll get so much info out of this. This is a very useful resource especially for someone just starting out in the field of Oracle. Any experienced DBA should already know this info, and rather should be reading manuals then books like these. But for everybody else this is excellent and certainly should be part of any DBA's library. Even if this just for review. Each page is filled with useful and good information. A very good resource! One of my favorite Oracle Press books.

ORACLE 8i DBA .............BEST BUY

Very well explained and enough examples for you to get started if you are a beginning your career in ORACLE Database Administration or if you are an expert this book covers all the topics of Oracle DBA along with some Java. But this book does not cover ORACLE PL/SQL programming. Covers Oracle Networking on NT & Unix. Since Oracle 8i is web-enabled software for you to understand Oracle 8i programming better you will also need to buy "ORACLE 8i SQLJ PROGRAMMING" as well as "ORACLE8 PL/SQL PROGRAMMING" by Oracle press.

Useful and complete

This book would be good both for beginners and for experienced DBAs. There are definite beginner parts, as well as tricks and scripts that more experienced DBAs should like to have. Skip the parts that don't apply to your level. Overall a good read, no errors yet.

DBA, OCP

Great book. It covered OEM v2.0 and Performance Tunning Packs which is much better than reading the online documentation. Plus good sample scripts to monitoring multiple databases.
