Product Description
Oracle 10g: Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration (DBA1) uses the most current database release from Oracle to provide thorough coverage of an Oracle database through the day-to-day duties of a database administrator. This real-world approach, combined with topics ranging from initialization parameters and table space storage to data integrity, constraints, and user profiles, provides good preparation for the update Oracle certification exam, Database Fundamentals I (#1Z0-041). In addition to extensive review material, the end of chapter content also includes comprehensive coverage of the exam objectives and exam-like practice questions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Raymond is too kind, October 9, 2006
By Lee Gremillion (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm teaching two sections of a database administration course for which this textbook was selected. It's the worst textbook I think I've ever seen. The earlier edition, used with Oracle 9i, had all the problems Raymond noted, but at least it lined up with the Oracle release it described.

This edition lines up with Oracle release 10g, which is provided on a CD with the book. However, the authors were too careless or lazy to update the screen shots of the Enterprise Manager console from the old 9i ones. And they are completely different -- in 10g Oracle went to a browser-based EM console that looks and acts completely differently than the fat client one did in release 9i. There are also parts of the text that erroneously describe the way it used to be done in 9i (but is no longer done in 10g).

Needless to say, the students are very confused and frustrated. This book doesn't even merit one star, but that's the least it can be given.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, September 26, 2006
I am using this textbook for a class in DBA using Oracle 10g. The author does a horrble job explaining the concepts and seems to jump all over the place. The step by step procedures won't work. You are better off downloading the Oracle DB and Client from Oracle and using thier install instructions. The review questions at the end of each chapter so far are lame. There are typos in the text. Don't get me wrong, there is information in this text it is just a pain in the rear to get through. For example, I need a Client to communicate with the DB, the text doesn't really cover this aspect. I dread the rest of this course...

1.0 out of 5 stars suuxs, March 27, 2007
This author might know about oracle 10g but he does not know how to write a book. His exam review questions cannot be answered with going to other sources because this book is very vague on the subjects that pertain to the questions. After reading this book you will have to read another book just to really understand. This book jumps around so much that most of the information is useless if you do not know exactly how it is implemented and why.
