For DBA and Developper

2008-03-28
Hi,

This book is great for DBA and Developper alike. I would recommend it to anyone working with Oracle, even if you're not working to solve performance issues. With all those tips at hand never your application will suffer from poor programming.

Good examples, a must read for any Oracle DBA

I love reading this book. I typically read a few pages before bed. It's filled with lots of practical examples and suggestions. Very thorough explanations. Some of the examples could do with a little more explaining but overall it's still very useful.

Excelent book with adequate technical deep

This book manages all concepts, basical and advanced, and the reader can review and fortify concepts. The OCM Author with explains in an easy mode Oracle Products. Excellent book.

A "Must Have" Oracle Book

2007-11-22
A "must have" Oracle book for anyone who works with Oracle on a day-to-day basis. The database efficiencies I have been able to obtain for my clients by simply using Rich's book as a point of reference are well worth the cost in purchasing it.

Great for experts or beginners

A really great book for those who want an in-depth knowledge of Perf Tuning. The instructions are easy to follow yet very effective to tne the DB. I really liked the chapter on using hints and SQL tuning. I will definitely recommend this book to everyone.

Yep, this is my kind of book

If you know Rick Niemiec, you know that he loves what he does. You can see it in his presentations, you can see it when working with him (as I've had the honor of so doing), and you can see it in this book. This book is clearly a labor of love for Rich, and it is a eminently usable book.

In each chapter there is something for everyone, the new DBA, the forgetful DBA (thats me), the five hatted DBA, and even the advanced DBA. From the wonderful first chapter full of Oracle history and lore, to the deeper technical dives beyond, the book is a reference for the seasoned, and a text for those who are learning. It's well worth anyones time to read and absorb.

Each quarter, my team of DBA's has a book assigned to read. We then review that book in our twice monthly team meetings. In the next Quarter (Q4) we will be taking on Rich's book. Because of the size and comprehensive nature, we may well take it into Q108.

Thanks Rich, for an outstanding effort!

A great Oracle tuning book!

If you want to be a master in Oracle performance tuning, this book
is a must. The author offers a comprehensive treatment of topics such as:
indexes, hints, explain plan, joins, STATSPACK etc.
A key point in the book is that it is written to two kind of people:
developer and DBA. In both cases you are going to master Oracle
performance tuning! It is simply great!
