Easy Oracle Jumpstart: Oracle Database Management Concepts and Administration (Easy Oracle)

1 review
Robert G. Freeman, Steve Karam

Rampant Techpress, 2006

Is there anything good to say about this work?
The author describes this book as his first and it clearly shows throughout. Everyone has to start somewhere, so I can cut some slack for the lack of polish in the work. But not for the identified team of 'experts' who assisted him and who should hide their heads in shame as having let him down so badly. A book on any technical subject with as much breadth and depth as Oracle clearly needs to ...

Oracle9i New Features

Robert G. Freeman

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2002

Freeman the man!
I've been using Freeman's books for OCP upgrades in the past and they were good. This time he hasn't written an OCP book, I still got this one hoping to use it as a supplemental training material. Let's make it clear - it is not an OCP upgrade guide! It doesn't provide any practice questions and doesn't follow the test objectives closely enough. But as a new features overview this book is ...

Oracle9i RMAN Backup & Recovery

13 reviews
Robert G. Freeman, Matthew Hart

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2002

Best book on market for RMAN and Backups
As a production DBA this is the best book so far since Velpuri wrote the original Oracle 8i backup and recovery book a decade ago. I like this a lot and together with the Oracle documentation, setting up and using RMAN is a snap compared to the pain it used to be to stumble with RMAN before. Throw away logical backups and hassle of SQL backups and use the power of RMAN. I was able to get cooking ...

Oracle Replication: Snapshot, Multi-master & Materialized Views Scripts (Oracle In-Focus series)

4 reviews
John Garmany, Robert G. Freeman

Rampant Techpress, 2003

Excellent technical detail
This is a great reference for Oracle replication and does an excellent job of explaining the issues, especially multimaster replication. I have Freemans's Oracle new features book also, and I enjoy the style and cadence of the writing style. The text is not preachy and shows with clear examples all of the ways to set up and use Oracle replication. I highly recommend this book, and the price is ...

Oracle Database 10g New Features (Osborne ORACLE Press Series)

17 reviews
Robert G. Freeman, McGraw-Hill

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2004

Take an overview, that's the purpose
Yes, this book gives you only an overview over the 10g new features. But that's enough for me to download the free official and detailed guide on the argument of my interest from otn.oracle.com Good for a quick reference. Recommended.

Oracle RAC & Grid Tuning with Solid-state Disk: Expert Secrets for High Performance Clustered Grid Computing ...

Rampant Techpress, 2006

I did not know I needed this book!
I got this book as a vendors prize at Oracleworld and I was suprized to learn that SSD is not just a flash in the pan. I do not recommend hardware, but I had great success with this approach. Since I did not pay for my copy I wanted to give back, so I highly recommend this one as a worthwhile read.

Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting: Theory and Practice (9th Edition)

7 reviews
Robert J. Freeman, Craig D. Shoulders, ...

Prentice Hall, 2008

Found it to be quite informative
I am not sure why the other reviewers had problems with this book. I actually found it to be quite easy to read and understandble in its explanations of terminology. I work for a software company which sells a budgeting tool. Since realigning over to our public sector division, I decided to buy this book in order to hone my governmental accounting skills. My accounting degree certainly helped ...

Robert G. Freeman, Charles A. Pack

Coriolis Group Books, 2000

All you need is there.

Oracle Database 10g RMAN Backup & Recovery

7 reviews
Matthew Hart, Robert G. Freeman

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2006

Worth it's weight in Gold!
Backup and Recovery is one of the most critical tasks that a DBA has to perform. Sadly, it is also one of the most misunderstood. RMAN should be the tool of choice for backup and recovery for Oracle databases. There is so much that can be done with RMAN. What Robert and Matthew do is break it down piece by piece. There is a great intro and they build on that in subsequent chapters. If you want ...

Oracle Database 11g New Features (Osborne Oracle Press)

5 reviews
Robert G. Freeman

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007

Everything you need to know about 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. What separates this book from others is the real life examples used to illustrate the value of the new features, not simply a definition of the syntax. I was especially interested in the Data Warehouse section. Highly reccommended!

Mastering Oracle8i

Robert G. Freeman, Mark D. Blomberg

Sybex Inc, 2001

Great book!
This is another one of Robert's (and others) great works! This book is written well, and is geared towards providing the DBA early in his/her career the information needed to master the Oracle database and take the next step to becoming a senior DBA, and then on to being an expert. Each section provides detail explanations on how each piece of the system works, why it's there, how to ...

Portable DBA: Oracle

5 reviews
Robert G. Freeman

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2004

A true MUST HAVE reference book
Like many Oracle DBAs, I have plenty of reference books that are useful. The problem I run into is that some tend to be quite large (i.e. 1000+ pages) and the information I need is contained in one paragragh from this book, one chapter from another and a schema diagram from yet another. I have long searched for one book to take with me to customer sites that contains examples of command usage, ...
