All your common Oracle tasks in one place

This pocket guide is great for quickly looking up syntax and usage of all the common Oracle DBA commands. If you are a seasoned Oracle DBA and you have it all memorized it might be of limited help, but if your like me where you are primarily a software developer then it's great. It covers everything from installation to backup and recovery. This is not a book to learn Oracle from, but for a quick reference to jog your memory it's great.

This is a good one

Not all of the pocket guides work, but this one does. This topic is just right for this style of book. This a quick reference to all of the syntax that you need for DBA work on a daily basis. Definitely worth the money if administration of Oracle installations is your job.
