5.0 out of 5 stars
Get this program if you want to learn ORACLE,
By "gregwmoore" (Roswell, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle Database Administration: The Complete Video Course (Paperback)
I have been learning the be an Oracle DBA for just over 1 year after 20+ working as a mainframe programmer. It has been a huge struggle. I have bought all kinds of books and courses to help. Nothing, and I mean Nothing can touch to quality of the information and training you will get from this course. One of the many wonderful things the authors did was to show you both UNIX and NT on those things where there is a difference! Thank you so much for doing this. You will find all the information you need to get started! If you spend several hours repeatedly studying the information, watching the videos and doing all the exercises as they are presented to you - you will be amazed how much you will learn. I wish this book had been available during my first year - I think it would have cut my learning curve to a month or less! I cannot emphasize enough the importance of actually doing the exercises and writing down answers to all the questions. Sometimes it takes a few minutes of digging to find the answers - but this is what YOU need to know to be a fully trained Oracle DBA! Don't skip over these. I am hoping (and praying) the authors will take the time and energy to do a part 2 (backup and recovery in complete detail) and 3 (performance and tuning in full detail as well) with the same high quality training! It would be wonderful! Thanks again for publishing this course. It actually changed my life and gave me the training I needed. It brought it all together like no other course or book I have ever seen. Sincerely, Greg.

This course is incredible!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Database Administration: The Complete Video Course (Paperback)
This course is an absolute knockout. It's very well organized and modular. The amount of learning that is involved with learning how to be a DBA can be a bit daunting. This video-coarse presents a lot of material in a very skilled manner. The video lectures are very well thought out and the book is very straightforward and informative. These instructors have taught at Columbia University's CTA Program and their depth of knowledge and experience is evident in these lessons. Possibly the best thing about this course is the fact that the authors created it with the student in mind. In the end, the emphasis is on the education of the STUDENT, not just the education of the instructor. I hope they continue with the video-course concept, it works really well!!

Don't bother,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Database Administration: The Complete Video Course (Paperback)
This book doesn't tell you how do anything. It describes how the DBA job should be done but doesn't actually take you through the steps (such as backups). This book is for a CIO that doesn't understand the responsibility of an ORACLE DBA.
