This review is from: Oracle8 Advanced Tuning and Administration with CDROM (Oracle Press Series) (Paperback)

It is easy to read this book. The book is well organized. The explainations of concepts, examples, tips are clear and in logical order. I am an OCP DBA with 2 years experience. I have understood Oracle much better and learnt many tuning tips by reading this book. It is especially good for DBAs who have basic tuning knowledge and some experience, want to know more.
