Customer Reviews

Best Oracle tuning book I have read so far...

If you are a DBA this book belongs on your shelf. It is packed with platform specific information as well as sage advice from a seasoned veteran of performance tuning.

Very Good

Excellent for those well versed in Unix. The index could have been better though. Definitely for those with some prior experience as Unix admin and DBA.

A good overview of performance issues specific to Unix

After hearing the author speak at Oracle Open World in 1997, I bought his book. There are alot of details covered in his book that the oracle documentation specific to the Unix platform doesn't address. The book assumes a working knowlege of both Oracle and Unix. I would recommend it for System Administators who support systems that run Oracle and DBA's who need more performance tips for their platform.
