Very good to upgrade to Oracle8i

Materialized View Section Needs Updating
I only looked at the section on Materialized Views and must say that its one of the few books to cover this topic in some detail. However, readers should be aware that some of the parameters mentioned in the text are not correct and therefore will not work.

Very good to upgrade to Oracle8i,
This review is from: Oracle8i Tips & Techniques (Paperback)
I am a senior DBA for a major international bank and Oracle OCP. The objective of this book is to show new feaures of Oracle8i, which is something you would normally only get in an Oracle classroom. The topics are very straightforward, practical and illustrative. However, there are some mistakes, and some areas are not satisfactory covered. I particularly missed a chapter on version migration. But, on the whole, a great book.

Very Good for Oracle8i New Features,
This review is from: Oracle8i Tips & Techniques (Paperback)
This book covers exclusively Oracle8i new features. It's an excellent book if you are already familiar with Oracle8 and want to learn the 8i new staff. It's also full of very interesting tips not easy to find elsewhere.

Excellent book!,

Has lots of hands on tips, I mean REAL tips, not just recites from Oracle Manual. I sold most of my Oracle books but this one is to stay.

Good examples, but not well written,
By steve hodge (little rock, AR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle8i Tips & Techniques (Paperback)
Save your money on this one. I liked the overview of the ORDBMS in Chapter 1, and the treatment of partitioning, but overall this collection of tips is just that-- a set of tips for the expert minus a well-written orientation to new features. If you can glean more information from examples rather than the surrounding text, then this might be a good reference, but don't count on it to teach you the neat stuff in Oracle 8i.
