The best-of-breed for Oracle tuning
I have all of the Oracle tuning books and this is the one that I use most often. The author knows the innards of Oracle extremely well, and he explains the tuning concepts is a very clear and understandable fashion. The tuning scripts have saved me several times, and they alone are worth the price of the book.

Several Severe Inaccuracies
There are sections of this book that are just about as wrong as wrong gets. For instance, the section on concatenated indexes (page 214) was true in version 7 but is greatly different in version 8. This book is a pretty good start, but readers should be aware that the author did not do a good job including new features of version 8. For this reason, I strongly...

the best book for tuning,
By A Customer
This review is from: High Performance Oracle8 Tuning: Performance and Tuning Techniques for Getting the Most from Your Oracle8 Database (Paperback)
I have bought all of the Oracle8 tuning books, and this one is clearly the best. The book has well-written examples, and lot's of code. Best of all, the text is easy to read and understand the complexities of Oracle tuning. This is the best one in my collection.

Best I have seen,
By A Customer
This review is from: High Performance Oracle8 Tuning: Performance and Tuning Techniques for Getting the Most from Your Oracle8 Database (Paperback)
After having been disappointed by all of the Oracle Press books, I am delighted to finally find a tuning book that makes sense. The scripts in this book saved me humdreds of hours of coding, and Burleson is great at explaining complex principles. I have bought them all, and this is the only one I reference.

For this reason, I strongly disagree with the other reviews. If this book is your only reference for Oracle 8 tuning, chances are you'll not take advantage of new, rich features.

A Great approach to Oracle Tuning,
By A Customer
This review is from: High Performance Oracle8 Tuning: Performance and Tuning Techniques for Getting the Most from Your Oracle8 Database (Paperback)
This book has been very helpful to me when getting started with tuning Oracle. There are lot's of useful scripts that showed me what was going on and easy explainations of how to find the problem areas. I own the other tuning books, and many of them are far too complicated and confusing.
