March 1998
Here is everything an Oracle professional needs to know about writing the most efficient SQL statements possible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Verbose, poorly organized, and barely touched ver 8., December 2, 1998
This review is from: High Performance Oracle8 SQL Programming and Tuning (Paperback)
This book was a major disappointment. It is verbose, poorly oraganized, and contains numerous minor mis-statements. This appears to have been written about ver 7.3 and then a chapter was added to claim to cover ver. 8. Not recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont buy this book, September 7, 2000
This review is from: High Performance Oracle8 SQL Programming and Tuning (Paperback)
If you want to learn SQL tuning this is not hte book. I guess the author has just filled the book. All, I learned in the end is use indexes (OK!!!). Using indexes is only one part of SQL tuning. There are other issues which have not been explored at all. It is a sheer waste of money to buy this book. I would rather recommend other fine books by Oracle Press and Prentice Hall on Tuning. Bottomline, Dont buy this book. I would have given it a Zero Star if one was available. It was a waste of my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the best I have read for serious tuning., January 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: High Performance Oracle8 SQL Programming and Tuning (Paperback)
I especially like this book because of the real world examples. Pete has taken the time to run many tuning examples. Other tuning books that I have read have few real examples. The section on Analyzing Tables is excellent!
