Customer Reviews

Academic style but very useful.

The book is written to be used in colleges but is very useful for junior dba. The book walk you through the oracle B & R step-by-step. By the time you finish the book and do all the assignments you come out with a lot of information. I will definitely recommend this book to someone who is trying to learn Oracle BR and especially the oracle magic tool "Recovery Manager, RMAN". I give 5 stars.

Not bad

This book is good if you have a good instructor who can help you in doing the practices. If you try to study the book by yourself, preparing to get a lot of headache. For example: In chapter 7: Performing backup Operations with Recovery Manager. I try to do backup using RMAN-Enterprise Manager. I stucked. The backup failed so many times. The error is: VNI-2015 I tried to get help from internet, reading so many articles about how to solve VNI-2015. Many explanations, but all of them don't work. Lastly, I remember METALINK from Oracle. The problem is: METALINK is just for certain people. Not everyone can access Metalink. Lucky me, my Professor give me his user name/password for us to do research in Metalink. Finally, I got the correct answer from Metalink to solve the problem of VNI-2015. In conclusion: You need to have a good instructor OR you will stuck forever

Fundamentals 2 - A students perspective

I am a student of Dr. Morris-Murphy at Valencia Community College in Orlando Florida and currently studing under the Doctor as I prepare for the last of my Oracle DBA certification exams. This, her second book matches the style of her presentation of Oracle Backup & Recovery in class; clear, precise and simple to understand. Each of the 15 chapters contains Hands On Assignments for students to get realtime experience on recover and backup of lost information. After using this book during her class I highly recommend that DBA's and DBD's or students studying Oracle9i who are preparing for the certification exam and should have this book sitting next to their Sybex Backup & Recovery book.Because SQL/Plus and Backup & Recovery are the two hardest aspects of Oracle to grasp these two books by Dr Murphy are a must, I recommend very strongly that anybody who is in the field of Oracle9i or Oracle19Gg should place a copy of both books on their shelf for reference
