5.0 out of 5 stars The best-of-breed for Oracle tuning, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

I have all of the Oracle tuning books and this is the one that I use most often. The author knows the innards of Oracle extremely well, and he explains the tuning concepts is a very clear and understandable fashion. The tuning scripts have saved me several times, and they alone are worth the price of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best book for tuning, September 17, 1998

By A Customer

I have bought all of the Oracle8 tuning books, and this one is clearly the best. The book has well-written examples, and lot's of code. Best of all, the text is easy to read and understand the complexities of Oracle tuning. This is the best one in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best I have seen, September 17, 1998

By A Customer

After having been disappointed by all of the Oracle Press books, I am delighted to finally find a tuning book that makes sense. The scripts in this book saved me humdreds of hours of coding, and Burleson is great at explaining complex principles. I have bought them all, and this is the only one I reference.
