2.0 out of 5 stars
Very introductory and lacks consistency,
This review is from: Oracle Database Administration for UNIX Systems (Bk/CD-ROM) (Paperback)
This book tries to be ambitious and all it accomplishes is to convey scattered, imprecise and shallow information to the beginner. There may be a few handy topics, but it is all there is. It lacks consistency. The CD-ROM contents are ridiculous. If the reader is interested in learning Oracle and UNIX, I would suggest buying specific books on both products, or even attending some courses.

Don't waste you money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Database Administration for UNIX Systems (Bk/CD-ROM) (Paperback)
Since I am only a novice to the Oracle Database administration, I don't suggest anyone to take this book. It just summarizes the concept of Oracle database very roughly, let alone the UNIX. To my regret, it seems there is no much choice to find another book dealing with UNIX AND Oracle at the same time.Hope there will be such a great book that can really help.

Reader from Phialdelphia is wrong,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Database Administration for UNIX Systems (Bk/CD-ROM) (Paperback)
If you are running in archive mode, with a cold backup, you can recover up to the point of failure. It gets its information from the redo log files and archive redo log files. You only need to use a hot backup if the database needs to be running 24hrs. The book gives the impression that archived log files are purely in relation to hot backups. Rolling forward from cold backups is the commonest production scenario. I would recommend the book Oracle 8 Backup and Recovery Handbook by Rama Velpuri. for an accurate description of backup and recovery.
