1.0 out of 5 stars Man, what a mediocre book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best and only? book on this subject, July 8, 2004

This review is from: Oracle Dba Survival Guide (Paperback)
If you ever consider working as an Oracle DBA _THIS_ is the book you want to read. It does not give you mutch technical knowledge(you can get taht from the reference books or training courses) but instead it introduces you the basic consepts of database administration on Oracle. A MUST HAVE for a fresh DBA.

It does, however, have useful bits of advice like: "Warning: if you have instances or applications that are crashing, you may have some really serious problems." No kidding! "It is often more important to know where to find the answers than to know the answers themselves." Unfortunately, the answers I've needed have yet to be found in this book.
