Book Description

If you are a typical Oracle professional, you don't have the luxury of time to keep up with new technology and read all the new manuals to understand each new feature of the latest release from Oracle. You need a comprehensive source of information and in-depth tips and techniques for using the new technology. You need Oracle Internals: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for DBAs.
Oracle has evolved from a simple relational database into one of the most complex e-commerce platforms ever devised. It's not enough for you to understand just the Oracle database. You must also understand the components of the Web server technology, XML, Oracle Security, Oracle and Java, and a host of other issues in order to do your job properly.
This book is a compendium of the best and most useful articles from Oracle Internals, Auerbach Publications' newsletter for Oracle database administrators and other Oracle professionals. Edited by Oracle guru Don Burleson, it provides the type of in-depth, highly technical information not found in any other book, information only available from peers and consultants. The chapters focus on the truly tough stuff - proven techniques learned in the trenches.
You could get this information from other sources, but you'd have to hunt and peck for it. Can you afford that kind of time? Oracle Internals: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for DBAs gives you knowledge and advice directly applicable to your work in one easy-to-use resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great insights in this one, August 23, 2001
This review is from: Oracle Internals: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for DBAs (Paperback)
I was very impressed with the insights in this text. While the text is a mish-mosh of sundry topics, the contributors to this book include the best in the business, including Mike Ault, Brad Brown, and John Beresneicwz.

There are really great article on the internal mechanisms of object management (freelists internals), buffer cache internals, and the internals of the shared pool (Mike Ault). These article alone were worth the price of the book, IMHO.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of Oracle tips, August 29, 2001
This review is from: Oracle Internals: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for DBAs (Paperback)
I generally don't like "collection" books, but this book was an exception. The topics are organized in a straightforward way and it is easy to skim the text looking for new information. While not every article was of interest to me, there were lot's of real gems in the collection. I now understand Oracle internals far better than before.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book - not for beginners, October 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Internals: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for DBAs (Paperback)
Here Oracle Internals refers to the Internal Code that you would not find in the sea of sameness on the books on Oracle. Oracle has matured as a technology and there are quite a few seasoned people out there. The book is targetted towards them. So if you are tired of reading select * from dual queries and want to see some industrial strength code go for this one. nice job
