These scripts will work in a variety of environments, including the Windows NT, Sun Solaris 2.x, Sun OS 5.x, HP-UX 11.x, and AIX 4.x operating systems. You'll learn the command differences between these operating systems and how to write scripts to integrate SQL with your OS. Whether you're an aspiring DBA or you have a few years under your belt, you'll be able to use the commands and scripts presented here to install, operate, manage, and tune Oracle databases.

5.0 out of 5 stars For new DBAs and teams wanting to deliver turnkey systems, June 1, 2002

By	Rachel Tozier (Brea, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This collection of scripts cover all of the major DBA functions. Since most experienced DBAs have already amassed their tools, this book is for the newer DBA. It will give you a ready made collection of the basic scripts, which you can modify and perfect as your experience grows.

I like this collection because it allowed me and my team to bundle production ready scripts into an application that we developed for internal company use. Although me and most of my team were DBAs in the past out personal script collections were out of date. We bought this book, tailored the scripts we needed to production tasks to support our application and were able to release a turn key application to production. Since the scripts were provided on CD ROM and were relatively bug free this book saved us hundreds of development hours and allowed us to deliver a system that had a higher value than one that is tossed into production.

If you're a new DBA this book and the scripts that come with it will kickstart your tool library. If you're a developer that is building an Oracle application and want to deliver a complete solution this book will save time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compendium of Oracle DBA scripts, July 9, 2003

By	Vinicio Valencia (MIAMI, FLORIDA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a superb book. It has a lot of escencial Oracle DBA scripts written for UNIX / NT environments. Some scripts have really nice value added; for example the backup script provided also creates a file for restoring files backed up. The UNIX section at the end has a lot of useful commands for AIX, Solaris and HP. This is not a book for teaching you how to write scripts (although it has a section devoted to it), but it's clear and simple style make it a really good help for your DBA needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Software Professionals who also take the role of DBA's, May 7, 2003

By	R. Potluri "RP" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book as the author claims that it caters to the requirements of DBA's of different experience levels. I am involved in all phases of project developement. This book helped me in the tasks of the database creation,database maintenance and performance tuning. Automation scripts made my job much easier in database backups. With the help of this book I could
configure new Oracle 9i database and made it fully functional in four hours. Its a great book if you are working on Oracle installed on windows or unix. I feel that it is really worth its price.
