Good book for a novoice or an average DBA. All tuning tips are given in a nutshell and neatly organized. However, this book doesn't go into very dip for some of the tuning concepts and doesn't cover some of the topics like different types of fragmentation, parallel query, partitioning views etc. in detail. But then you can't find everything in one book. So, if you are very experienced DBA and looking for something extra ordinary, you may not find that very high level stuff here.

it not only helps in increasing knowledge about oracledba but it also gives oracle users a truly efficient guide

When I used to work at Oracle, these books were our bibles. I had to learn a great deal about Oracle in a very short time (I knew extremely little about technology, and didn't know a database from a ring ding). These books are remarkably thorough, and go into a lot of detail. The added benefit is that they are extremely widely read by Oracle developers (both working for Oracle and not), that they get TONS of feedback, so any inaccuracies, developments or new ideas/tricks get back to the publisher and often get incorporated in new editions. The Oracle series is general is a great foundation to start with for Oracle knowledge. The thick white Oracle books (published by Oracle) are also extremely good, and come with the server software. I believe that they are more easily available in soft copy, as Oracle is trying to limit the documentation that they distribute with their software.
