5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for experienced Oracle/Unix DBAs going to NT, January 21, 1999

Jim_Sniatecki@lincolnelectric.com (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oracle8 & Windows Nt Black Book (Black Book (Coriolis Group Books Paperback)) (Paperback)

This book is well structured, well organized, and well written. It has a lot of good examples and figures in support of the text. I referenced this book many times in my first implemetation of Oracle on Windows_NT. It was immensely helpful and saved me a lot of time and effort. The sections on Oracle Enterprise Manager and performance tuning were extremely informative and useful. In my opinion, this book is a must for Oracle DBA's implementing and supporting Oracle on Windows_NT.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good in parts - totally wrong in others..., December 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle8 & Windows Nt Black Book (Black Book (Coriolis Group Books Paperback)) (Paperback)

While this is a good overview of oracle8 on NT, there are some major mistakes. The section on backups is at best misleading - the part on hot backups in 100% wrong. Had this book been reviewed by a junior DBA, these mistakes would have been spotted.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first actual NT-oriented Oracle book we've seen!, October 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle8 & Windows Nt Black Book (Black Book (Coriolis Group Books Paperback)) (Paperback)

My company has been developing applications on Oracle and NT for more than 4 years already, and we never found a good book that integrated both platforms efficiently. The official Oracle documentation for NT is really poor and this guide is perfect for both first-time users and experienced Oracle DBAs.

We highly recommend it!
