Perfect
This is the best book about Oracle 10g I have ever used. It can be read from one end to the other getting comprehensive knowledge of Oracle features. Or you can use it as a reference looking up just in one chapter. Each chapter is independent and clearly explain about the topic in such a manner that you can easily understand it even if you have not read the rest of the book. I would say this ...

The best investment I ever made!
I lied on my resume to get a particular DBA job and got it all because of this book and after a few months on the job and asking stupid questions (and almost giving mydelf away) I actually turned pro. This book has enough excellent material in it to get you into the job and to keep you in the job. I bougt a second copy to supoprt the author after this book nearly quadrupled my income.

It's a handbook, not a study guide/replacement for Metalink
I'm an Oracle developer who has inherited admin responsiblities for a medium sized database/application. This book DOES provide the information necessary to do that. I am pursuing the OCA/OCP track as part of this new responsibility and, as other reviewers have stated, this book does NOT act as a study guide by itself. Additionally, it is NOT a replacement for Metalink for more subtle ...

A best buy
Bought this product as a gift for my bookworm cousin. It was brand new, delivered so quick and a little bit more than i expected in every sense. Highly recommended for the Oracle freak or novice.

Reference Book!
If you are looking to learn Oracle, don't try to do it with this book alone. This book is great for reference, but to try and understand all that is Oracle requires a different book.

Osborne/McGraw-Hill, 2000

A MUST For Any Developer
Oracle 8i: The Complete Reference should be in your library if you are a developer. It has everything you need to design and maintain your database. It really comes in handy when you need to create SQL statements, write PL/SQL, or just figure out what function you need to use. I am not a DBA (I'm a web developer), but I pull this book out everyday to do what I need to get my data from the ...

Bible
This contains most of what you need to know to use Oracle8. It does not flow like a tutorial, but it isn't one (it is a reference). This is one of only a few Oracle books that I felt necessary to buy myself.

Advanced Oracle Tuning and Administration

Osborne Publishing, 1996

Very thorough book, money well spent...
The book is aimed at those interested in DBA issues however I recommend developers to shell out for the book just for the chapters on EXPLAIN PLAN and SQL Tuning Tips. My investment quickly paid back when I put the info to use recently for a major client.

Osborne/McGraw-Hill, 1998

Finally, a useful Oracle book
So many of the books out there are just beginner material, this is the first one I've found that shows how to do coding well. The format walks you through the material so you can pick up tricks and techniques as you go along. Plus the examples actually work.

It is the first book I reach for!
Oracle is new to me so I spend a-lot of time reading trying to learn the ways of the DBA. From this point of view, there is nothing better than a good book and nothing worse than a bad one. "Oracle DBA Handbook" is an outstanding reference. When used in conjunction with "Oracle A Beginners Guide" this set will step you through from start to finish with well-explained answers and examples. I ...

For anyone serious enough about Oracle & its possibilities
I have taught Intermediate Oracle & Relational Database Development using this book & find it quite detailed as a complete reference should be. While the later part of the book is literally an indespensible reference & the appendices offer a great deals about optimization, the book itself provides for very good coverage of the Oracle & SQL DDL & DML basics in addition to SQL*Plus coverage I ...

If you work with Oracle, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!
This book can save you hours of frustration and techno-babbel. It gets to the heart of Oracle and provides the knowledge necessary to configure, troubleshoot and maintain an Oracle RDBMS. If you buy one book for Oracle this should be the one.

Oracle9i Instant PL/SQL Scripts

Kevin Loney, Megh Thakkar, ...

McGraw-Hill Companies, 2001

Starter kit for new DBAs
This collection of scripts is a great starter kit for new DBAs because it contains highly useful code for nearly all of the basic administration, tuning and troubleshooting tasks encountered on the job. What I like is this isn't just a collection of code on a CD ROM, but each script is carefully explained in the text of the book. For someone like myself who is still in OCP training the ...

well organized book
It is easy to read this book. The book is well organized. The explainations of concepts, examples, tips are clear and in logical order. I am an OCP DBA with 2 years experience. I have understood Oracle much better and learnt many tuning tips by reading this book. It is especially good for DBAs who have basic tuning knowledge and some experience, want to know more.
