This book is a deep in-depth view of the function of Peoplesoft on an Oracle database. Not only does it cover the fundamentals of how Peoplesoft uses the database features, it also details almost every table in the system on a row by row basis. An in-depth resource which is sure to be invaluable to anyone using this software configuration.

I have been an Oracle DBA for ten years and needed to ramp up very quickly recently for a large client to support their PeopleSoft environment without time to get training on PeopleSoft. This book fits the void left empty as the other PeopleSoft books are geared toward PeopleSoft application developers and not for an Oracle DBA who needs to understand the new ways of working with Oracle databases and PeopleSoft applications. Definitely a gold mine of nuggets for those who need to understand Peoplesoft on Oracle!!

I bought this book just to get familiar with Peoplesoft environment (before the project to install Oracle RAC for Peoplesoft) and cover what I need to know as Oracle DBA. It beats all my expectations - I found lots of DBA relevant details as well as extremely useful overview of architecture and application design with Tuxedo.
After skimming through the book for few hours, I was able to fully understand and talk to Peoplesoft people at client side. In some cases, I knew even more details (or where to get more) than DBA on client site. Showed this book to the client DBA and he was so much thrilled with that - ran and bought it right away.
Well done David! Excellent Job. Thanks!

Weather you are a newbie Peoplesoft DBA or have been on the field for sometime....there is something for everyone in this book. This is an awesome book and it talks about A..Z about Peoplesoft DBA aspect. Buy it if you are managing/administrating Peoplesoft instances. Its worth every penny

Sounds like this author is very confused personality.
Being myself, 13 years in Oracle DBA field,
This book is so badly written, everywhere there is a confusion.

Definitely not recommend reading. But unfortunately there is NO other Peoplesoft book for oracle DBA.
At least it will give some idea how peoplesoft Tools especially designer works.
