5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Oracle Data Guard Book, January 26, 2010

This review is from: Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook (Oracle Press) (Paperback)

The authors do a good job of explaining Data Guard features and architectural components and the decisions that you need to make to be successful with Data Guard. The book is full of tips and recommendations that can only come from experience with using Data Guard in a wide variety of configurations and environments. Where applicable, the authors explain the Data Guard differences between 11g, 10g, and 9i. The book also has several working examples and scripts of how RMAN is used to help create database used in Data Guard environments. This book will raise your knowledge of Data Guard to an expert level.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best on the subject, December 21, 2009

This review is from: Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook (Oracle Press) (Paperback)

This is by far one of the best Oracle books I have read along with Expert one on One and a couple of titles from K Gopalakrishnan (Wait events and RAC). It has very indepth details of concepts and day to day setup and maintainence of a Data Guard. A very engrossing read (which is rare for a technical book). It can be used by anyone from novice to a professional dba. Awesome book.

5.0 out of 5 stars goes beyond the white papers, July 29, 2009

This review is from: Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook (Oracle Press) (Paperback)

If you have been deploying High Availability and Disaster Recovery solutions then you probably agree that the MAA docs and white papers are among the best material published on the Oracle OTN website.
This book actually manages to go deeper and beyond the docs, white papers and all conference presentations you may have attended on Oracle Data Guard.
