Silver bullets are for werewolves not software,
By R. Totale (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle Silver Bullets: Real-World Oracle Performance Secrets (Oracle In-Focus series) (Paperback)
If you enjoy spending an open ended amount of time trying out as many tricks as possible and seeing what sticks without any understanding of what you are doing or how long the effect will last then this book may be for you.
Alternatively if you charge a lot by the hour and will benefit from as many return visits to a client as possible then this book is probably essential.

If only Oracle was a werewolf,

This review is from: Oracle Silver Bullets: Real-World Oracle Performance Secrets (Oracle In-Focus series) (Paperback)
Who needs to understand the underlying mechanics of the system when you can just keep trying "solutions" until one works? If you like tinkering with production Oracle databases with no fear of consequences, by all means, have at it!

Worthless,
This review is from: Oracle Silver Bullets: Real-World Oracle Performance Secrets (Oracle In-Focus series) (Paperback)
I had high hopes for this volume - but as I get to know this series of books better those hopes are fading across the board. This is just a mess of ideas that could be picked up anywhere and that appear here without enough theory to justify experimenting with them, and some of the theory that is cited is simply wrong.
