This review is from: Oracle DBA Automation Quick Reference (Paperback)

The format of this book is a little different. You tilt the book 90 degrees and read it horizontally. Once you get use to the format then the book is decent covering what you want to know on 3 subjects: OUI, NETCA and DBCA. The title is a little misleading in that it SEEMS that you can automate EVERYTHING. In reality it only covers OUI, NETCA and DBCA. For me, it helped because I needed to mass deploy/install Oracle 10G R2 on Windows 2003 Server. This is a niche book covering OUI, NETCA and DBCA well.
