5.0 out of 5 stars Really great insights in this one, August 23, 2001

By 

John Brokovich (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

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

By 

Rich Golisano (Gates, NY) - See all my reviews

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
