A MUST for Oracle DBAs using NT,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Oracle8i on Windows NT in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself...in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
I was initially reluctant to buy/read this book, because in the past I have been bitten by horrible SAMS 24 hour series books (like the one on Visual Basic by Greg Perry and Sanjaya Hettihewa). So I was sort of biased against this kind of books, considering them too basic for a senior IT professional. This book has been a pleasant surprise. It starts easy, but the thread of discussion soon switches and very advanced topics, such as Fail Safe and parallel server are exhaustively covered. The book is precise and accurate, and explores the NT specificity, teaching how to tune the operating system so that Oracle can run better. I have been an Oracle DBA in OpenVMS/Unix environments, and I could get up to speed to Oracle/NT relatively quickly, thanks to this book. We need lots of books like this one.

Extremely informational,

This review is from: Teach Yourself Oracle8i on Windows NT in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself...in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
I am an experienced Windows NT system administrator but new to Oracle. I started my new responsibilites as an Oracle DBA on Windows NT and this book has helped me a lot in coming up to speed quickly. I even learnt a few things about Windows NT along the way.

Not a good book when coming from MS SQL Server,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Oracle8i on Windows NT in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself...in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
The 5-star reviews are wrong. This is not a good book. There are no useful examples. The installation information is non-informative. All screen shots are from Oracle 8.1.3 Beta. Coming from an SQL Server background, this book was a waste of $30. Unfortunately, I don't have a suggestion for a better book.
