4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for Replication
It would have been better if the author has addressed the common problems faced during replication, how to detect them and solve them. Otherwise a good book. Many packages have changed in Oracle 8i. Better wait till the next release covering 8i is out in the market.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but most info copied from his other book.
This is a good book for replication, but allot of the material is covered in his Oracle Built-in Packages book. Almost word for word.

The built-in packages book is a much better deal for the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars adequate coverage, October 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Distributed Systems (Paperback)
This book does a reasonable job covering both distributed databases and replication. More coverage on maintenance and problem-solving would be helpful (i.e. What to look at when replication fails dd views etc.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Oracle Distributed Systems, November 6, 2002
This review is from: Oracle Distributed Systems (Paperback)
Very good book. Good Structure, well writtern and full of information. Author gave very clear explanation on Oracle Distributed Systems. I hope new edition will cover more on addressing common problems that faced during replication, how to detect and solve it, performance tuning and other hands on topics.

This review is from: Oracle Distributed Systems (Paperback)
Well written and useful, but badly out of date. In spite of the claim that is updated for 8 and 8i, it's not there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well writen and very usefull, May 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Distributed Systems (Paperback)
Another classic from O'Reilly - understandable, accurate and full of usefull tips and (should I mention) one of the very few books dedicated to Oracle distributed systems and replication. It would be nice if there is more coverage of administration in distributed environment but this is an excellent book anyway.
