New Oracle Automatic Storage Management features, such as Fast Disk Resync, Compatibility Attributes, Preferred Mirror Read, and Rolling Upgrade componentsI have been an Oracle dba since version 5. Every time I upgrade Oracle to a new version I read the Oracle release notes, new features and all other related books. This time I chose this book and I must say that it is much easier and clear than other Oracle material I read before. It is well organized, the chapters are detailed and the material is well understood. Go get it! Alon

Other reviewers may have negative opinions, but I think the book is well worth the cost - especially if you bill your time. Yes, the material is covered in Oracle's New Features docs, and yes, this volume is not for either the beginner or the true expert.

This is a great book, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who needs a succinct starting point for Oracle 11g.

This is a must have for anyone interested in upgrading an Oracle database to 11g. The author clearly explains new concepts in this release.

I was especially interested in the Data Warehouse section. Highly reccommended!

Packed. Packed with examples and the answers to the 'why' questions. You can read Oracle's manual to get the 'what', but if you want to know the 'why' and the 'how' to get the most from 11g, this new features book is packed. Packed full of goodies. Packed like Santa's sleigh. Complete thumbs up!
