5.0 out of 5 stars Tuning from the Metal Up
If you want one book to help you figure out how to get better performance from your Oracle system, this is it. It is written for the real world, not to pass an exam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money
I am studying certification examination and I bought this book for studying 4th examination. I have 3 books on Performance Tuning subject and this one is total disapointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money, November 19, 2002
This review is from: Oracle Performance Tuning (Paperback)
I am studying certification examination and I bought this book for studying 4th examination. I have 3 books on Performance Tuning subject and this one is total disapointment. In the book you can only see many repetitions (I think writers put these in order to increase page count) and useless commends. I could not find any detailed information on subjects, only well known regular information on Oracle database. If you do not want to waste your money, DO NOT BUT THIS BOOK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right on the dot with examples., June 13, 2003

This review is from: Oracle Performance Tuning (Paperback)
I agree with previous reviewer. Starters may find this book little hard to follow. This book is best if used as reference. In other words you must be somewhat familiar with tuning expects of Oracle before nsidering purchasing this book and to benefit / improve or mastering Oracle tuning.
