Customer Reviews

A "must read" for any Oracle database administrator!

This book is truly worth considerably more than the publisher's list price. The authors of this book have done an absolutely first rate job! I have never seen a book with as much detail about the steps and "gotchas" on Oracle database migration as this book. The authors cover in terrific detail the migrating from Oracle7 to both 8.0 and 8i, and they address the detailed steps for upgrading from 8.0.x to 8i as well. Also, this book covers migration from non-Oracle databases to 8i. A large number of migration-related issues are presented which you will NOT find in Oracle's documentation. The second half of the book covers the new features of Oracle8i and how they can be used by the DBA, including numerous practical examples and source code. No administrator should be without this valuable reference!
