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.

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.
