WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...

"...it is much better than any Oracle Press book I've ever read. The answers are great at being very detailed...most of them go step-by-step through how to do something...unlike my experiences with the Oracle Press book. I highly recommend this to anyone who deals with Oracle on a regular basis."
--Billy Barron, Delphi Consultants, for JavaMUG

"The author has taken a radical new approach with this book, in that the solutions offered are taken from actual questions/problems faced by Oracle DBAs. The scripts included in the book make for compelling reading as well, and show practical solutions to some of the most difficult problems facing the Oracle DBA. Not just another techni-cal manual, but a real hands-on wealth of solutions. Great book!"
